CABLE ASSEMBLY

摘要

A method of applying a premold to a cable. The cable may have a plurality of shielded pairs, where the shielded pairs comprise conductors. A premold is applied to the cable, where the shielded pairs are aligned within the premold. A deformable material is wrapped over the premold. A shell is applied over the deformable material. The premold is sufficiently hard so as to protect the conductors from deformation when applying the shell. A portion of the conductors may be deformed before being welded.
