Abstract
A cable assembly (A) is disclosed for a logic analyzer which comprises a flat woven cable (14) having an analyzer connector (18) and a probe connector (22). The analyzer connector includes a printed circuit board (32) and the probe connector includes a printed circuit board (34). Resistor-capacitor networks (D, E) are carried on respective PC board (32, 34) for extending the effective bandwidth of the cable assembly. A cable assembly (A") is disclosed having a low capacitance provided by high gauge signal conductors (92) and increased center-to-center spacing between the signal conductor and exclusively associated ground wires (94a, 94b). Resistor netowkrs (D', E') provide a high input resistance to the cable assembly. An interface shroud (B) connects terminal (C) of probe leads (10) to probe connector (22). A plurality of exterior grooves (54) are formed on an upper wall (44) of interface shroud (B) which receive locking arm (62) of terminal body (60). A trigger ramp (74) allows locking arm (62) to be quickly disengaged.
