Abstract

A connector for a shielded pair type cable with grounding drain conductor is designed to enable equipment to be connected in series by means of a shielded drop and insert cable to a shielded cable which comprises a pair of wires and an electromagnetic shield continuity drain conductor. The connector comprises a terminal block comprising a support member in which is accommodated a cutting device disposed between four connecting members each adapted to receive one wire of the drop and insert cable and one of the two wires of the cable. The terminal block is housed in an insulative material casing inside a Faraday cage connected to two grounding terminals accessible from outside the casing, one directly and the other via a capacitor.
