Twinax routing for tight bend radius

A method of assembling a twinax cable assembly comprising:

• selecting a first plurality of twinax cables from a plurality of twinax cables each having a pair of conductors;
• forming a first twinax cable set by positioning each twinax cable in the first plurality of twinax cables adjacent to each other such that the pairs of conductors in the twinax cables align along a lateral direction defining the first twinax cable set;
• forming at least another twinax cable set using the step of forming the first twinax cable set, the first and at least another twinax cable set having opposite cable end sections and a lacing section between the cable end sections, where the twinax cables extend at each cable end section to connector ends;
• fastening the first twinax cable set and the at least another twinax cable set using a first tie-bar between the lacing section and the connector ends of the twinax cables in the first twinax cable set and the at least another twinax cable set, where the twinax cable sets are fastened in the tie bar in a first order at a first assembly end section of the twinax cable assembly;
• lacing the twinax cables of the twinax cable sets in the lacing section of the twinax cable sets maintaining the conductor pairs in each of the twinax cables of each twinax cable set aligned in the lateral direction;
• re-forming the first twinax cable set and the at least another twinax cable set at a second assembly end section using the forming step used to form the first twinax cable set at the first assembly end section;
• and
• fastening the first twinax cable set and the at least another twinax cable set using a second tie-bar between the lacing section and the connector ends at the second assembly end section of the twinax cable assembly, where the twinax cable sets are fastened in a second order different from the first order, where the second order is defined by the lacing of the twinax cables.
