Claims23
A wiring harness for conveying signals representing measurements made at a first location to a measuring instrument remotely located from said first location, said harness comprising:
- a first cable having an outer sheath with a first diameter;
- a plurality of coaxial cables, each of said coaxial cables having an outer shield with a diameter substantially smaller than said first diameter and a corresponding inner conductor, said coaxial cables being arranged within said outer sheath of said first cable;
- a plurality of first contacts arranged on said outer sheath of said first cable, each of said contacts being electrically connected to the inner conductor of a respective one of said plurality of coaxial cables.
An EKG wiring harness for conveying signals derived from multiple patient attached electrodes, comprising:
- a single cylindrical cable of substantially uniform diameter along its length including:
- a plurality of individual coaxial cables, with independent grounds, for conveying EKG signals, and
- a plurality of fastening devices terminating said plurality of coaxial cables at intermediate positions along the length of said single cylindrical cable;
- and
- a connector terminating one end of said single cylindrical cable including a plurality of contacts coupled to inner conductors of said plurality of coaxial cables.
