Abstract: A cable assembly including a cable, a ferrule, and a stringer. The cable includes a center conductor; a dielectric disposed around the center conductor; and a shield disposed around the dielectric. The ferrule is electrically connected to the shield and disposed around a portion of the dielectric exposed by the shield. The stringer includes an opening where the ferrule is disposed in the opening.
Abstract: An assembly has a conductive trace on a substrate and at least one conductor electrically coupled to the trace. First and second gaps arranged such that one gap is on either side the trace, allowing control of electrical characteristics of a signal path formed of the conductor and the trace.
