Abstract
A continuous 360.degree. electrically conductive seal about the back shell (30) of an electrically conductive connector shell (20) having teeth extending aftwardly from its end face (34) and around the braid shield (46) of a coaxial-type cable (40) connected to the back shell by an accessory boot (50) protects signal carrying conductors from EMI entry and the surrounding area from EMI leakage. A frusto-conical wall including an electrically conductive annular wall portion, such as provided by the inner wall (100) of an accessory ferrule (56), or of an electrically conductive annular cap (68, 78, 86) mounted in the ferrule is interference fit about the toothed end face of the connector shell so as to overlap and completely encircle the back shell at a point inwardly of the valleys (36) of the teeth.
