Abstract: Cable assemblies comprising a cable (102), an integrally formed cable stud (IFCS) disposed around the cable, a securing member (502, 1100), and a crimp ring (508). The IFCS (108) includes tubular bodies (530, 532, 534) of different sizes horizontally aligned along a common central axis (550) and a flange (536). The flange is disposed between a first and a second one of the tubular bodies and extends outwardly therefrom. The securing member (e.g., a heat deformable tube) is disposed around a first portion of the cable having an exterior insulation material disposed thereon and the first tubular body so as to form a seal therebetween. The crimp ring is formed of a deformable material electrically and mechanically coupling a shielding material of the cable to a third one of the tubular bodies.
