Abstract
A shielded cable assembly contains one or more hardpoints that resist damage arising from possible collapse of the shielded cable assembly under strong compressional forces that are exerted by a clamp assembly in the form of a separable block having first and second opposed members. The hardpoint contains a conduit that protects a data transfer line or cable bundle by compressing electromagnetic shielding between the conduit and the clamp assembly. Cable electromagnetic shielding may be exposed over a selected hardpoint for use as needed in a particular application.
