Abstract
A cable comprising a conductor in a center of the cable, a dielectric layer surrounding the conductor and a resistive coating may be provided. The resistive coating may be applied to an exposed portion of the conductor and disposed with the dielectric layer. The resistance of the resistive coating when combined with an impedance of the cable prior to application of the resistive coating reaches a target impedance.

A cable, comprising:
- a conductor in a center of the cable;
- a dielectric layer surrounding the conductor;
- and
- a resistive coating applied to an exposed portion of the conductor and disposed with the dielectric layer, wherein a resistance of the resistive coating when combined with an impedance of the cable prior to application of the resistive coating reaches a target impedance wherein the resistive coating is applied to the exposed portion of the conductor after the exposed portion of the conductor is soldered to a contact of a printed circuit board.
