Shielded cable termination assembly

A cable termination assembly comprising shielded electrical cable means for transmitting electrical signals, said cable means including at least one wire conductor and an electrical shield therefor, an electrical bus, housing means for supporting therein at least one electrical contact electrically connected to said one wire conductor, and electrical shield means attached to and at least partly surrounding said housing means, said housing means including electrically non-conductive body means for holding said cable means, bus and contact with respect to one another, and said bus having a portion thereof at least partially contained within said electrically non-conductive body means and another portion thereof extending externally of said body means and electrically connected to said shield means.

A cable termination assembly comprising a plurality of electrical cables each including at least one wire conductor and a jacket surrounding said wire conductor, wire management means including a row of laterally spaced, cable receiving slots for positioning said cables in laterally spaced apart, generally parallel relationship, and a row of laterally spaced, wire receiving slots of relatively narrower width than said cable receiving slots, said cables having said jackets thereof located in said cable receiving slots and said wire conductors having portions thereof extending beyond said jackets and located in said wire receiving slots, a plurality of electrical contact means for electrically connecting with external conductive elements when placed into engagement therewith, at least some of said electrical contact means being electrically connected with respective wire conductors of said cables, and housing means for securing together said wire management means, cables and electrical contact means.
