Abstract

A method is provided for forming a grounding arrangement on a shielded cable which includes a conductive core, a core insulation layer, a conductive shield layer, and an outer insulation layer. An inner ferrule is positioned adjacent an end portion of the conductive shield layer that has been exposed, the inner ferrule is crimped around the core insulation layer, and the end portion is folded over the inner ferrule to radially surround the inner ferrule. An electrically conductive outer ferrule is positioned radially adjacent to the end portion and the outer ferrule is crimped radially around the inner ferrule to capture the end portion radially between the inner ferrule and the outer ferrule, thereby fixing the outer ferrule in electrical contact with the conductive shield layer.

First claim

We claim:

1. A method for forming a grounding arrangement on a shielded cable that includes a conductive core, a core insulation layer radially surrounding said conductive core, a conductive shield layer radially surrounding said core insulation layer, and an outer insulation layer radially surrounding said conductive shield layer, said method comprising:
removing a length of said outer insulation layer to expose an end portion of said conductive shield layer;
providing an inner…
