Abstract
After removing a portion of the insulative covering from a cable leaving exposed the bare shield, a circumferential cut is made in the shield. A flanged, split-ring cylindrical metal contact is located underneath the braid with the flange extending through the cut. Shrink tape applied over the exposed shield serves to hold this shield and portions of the underlying contact together. A receiver tube located on the cable has an internal shoulder which fits against the contact flange and a gland nut threaded into the open end of the receiver tube has an internal end pressing against the contact flange to force it into contact with the receiver tube internal shoulder.
