System for terminating the shield of a high speed cable

摘要

A system is disclosed for terminating the shield a high speed cable having an outer jacket, an inner metallic shield with a portion of the outer jacket removed to expose a portion of the metallic shield, and an inner dielectric inside the metallic shield. The system includes a conductive two-part terminating member having a shield management part and a shield terminating part. The shield management part is adapted for allowing separation of the metallic shield from the inner dielectric and soldering of the shield to the shield management part, while protecting the inner dielectric from the heat of soldering. The shield terminating part is adapted for grounding the metallic shield and includes a receptacle for receiving the shield management part in conductive engagement therewith.
