Abstract
A method and woven structure for terminating a woven cable are disclosed wherein termination sections B are woven in continuous cabling 10 and spaced apart to define sections of individual woven cable A. In termination section B, ground wires 14 are floated above the plane of the woven cable and outside of the weave pattern. Signal conductors 12 are woven through the cabling with center-lines of adjacent conductors being fixed by the weave pattern. In the method, the ground wires are severed and terminated to a common bus bar 20. Next, an insulation displaceable connector C, of the type typically used with extruded cabling, is inserted in the weave portion 18 whereby the prongs of the insulation displaceable connector pierce and displace the insulation on the signal conductors 12. Bus bar 20 is electrically connected to a pin 24 of the insulation displaceable connector by means of a pigtail or other wire 26. Next, the cabling is folded over a bridge bar 30 of the connector and fixed in place by a strain relief bar 32 in a manner that a compact well-terminated end of woven cable A may be had in a simplified expedient manner in accordance with the invention.
