<p>A method and apparatus to provide a shield assembly for a connector, with the shield assembly having a cover to enclose the connector and a neck portion adapted to surround an outer surface of a portion of the cable. An inner surface of the neck portion makes contact with the outer surface of the cable. When the cable carries a high frequency signal, a capacitive impedance is provided between the neck portion and an outer shield of the cable to reduce electromagnetic signal leakage. Alternatively, the neck portion can make electrical contact with the cable shield, either by use of elements protruding from the inner surface of the neck portion or by removing an insulating jacket of the cable.</p> |
