Enhanced wire termination for twinax wires

A wire-termination assembly, comprising

• a wire member having, at a connection end, first and second signal connections, a drain connection, and a shielding member which encases the first signal connection, the second signal connection, and the drain connection, the drain connection extending in an orthogonal direction from the wire member;
• a clip member encasing the connection end of the wire member, the clip member electrically shielding the first and second signal connections, the clip member electrically connecting to the drain connection;
• a connector member having an input end and an output end, the input end having electrical receptors for receiving the first signal connection and the second signal connection, the connector member having a grounding bar for electrically shielding the first and second signal connections, the grounding bar electrically connecting to the clip member;
• wherein when the wire member is inserted in the connector member, signals passing over the wire member are communicated from the input end of the connector member to the output end of the connector member.
