Abstract: Data/telecommunication cables that include one or more layers of an integral, bonded electromagnetic shield are described. The shield may be configured to form an electrical ground path.

Abstract: A method for connecting a ground wire of cable comprises the steps of: receiving a ground wire of the cable, over one or more core signal conductors of the cable, in an open, connection slot or notch of a respective grounding section of a grounding structure; and restraining the ground wire so that the ground wire physically contacts a body of the respective grounding section and forms an electrical ground path with the body of the section.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a cable connector assembly. The cable connector assembly includes a housing configured to support a frame. The frame having twin-ax cables and ground conductors insert molded therein. The frame further includes a pocket with a portion of the cables and ground conductors exposed. The cable is dressed so that the inner shielding layer is accessible within the pocket. A conductive fill material is disposed in the pocket that connects the shielding layer to the ground conductors. A printed has circuit board a mating end and a securing end and is secured to the frame and configured to engage electrical terminals of a mating connector. Contact pads are formed on the securing end and the signal conductor of the cable and the ground conductors are respectively soldered to appropriate pads on the circuit board.

Abstract: A connector can include a housing and a conductive shield and a pair of latching members. The latching members have free ends with engagement teeth formed on them which are separated by an intervening notch. The sidewalls of this notch can be flat and can define a hard stop surface for engagement with an opposing board connector. The free ends further include ramped surfaces leading to the engagement notch to form cam surfaces that depress the latching members when the cable connector is mated to a board connector. The latching members may include locating tabs that are captured in vertical movement by the housing.
