Abstract
A carrier, or transfer frame, includes a pair of support portions located on opposite sides of an opening defined by the frame to receive portions of individual conductors of a cable, with the conductors extending across the opening and held in desired positions relative to each other during transportation prior to installation in an electrical circuit. Each conductor is connected electrically to a respective test contact pad of electrically conductive material located on one of the support portions. The transfer frame is placed and held in a desired position adjacent a circuit while the conductors are soldered, with access to the individual conductors, including shield conductors, being gained through the opening defined by the transfer frame.
