Shielding for electrical cable assemblies

Abstract

An electrical cable assembly is provided including multiple cables having wires. The cables each include a shield. A connector receives ends of the wires and includes an outer surface. A conductive shield ring has an outer periphery and includes multiple holes receiving the cables. The shield of each cable engages an inner surface provided by a corresponding hole in the shield ring. In one example, the circumference of each shield is soldered to the corresponding hole. A wrap engages the outer periphery and the outer surface to electrically connect the connector to the shields. In one example, the wrap is conductive heat shrink wrap that surrounds and engages the entire outer surface of the shield ring.
