Abstract

A grounding bridge for terminating the ground portions of an interconnect cable includes a conductive metal member having two leg portions extending at angles to each other. One leg portion is folded upon itself to define a partial enclosure which receives an internal coaxial cable of the interconnect cable therein along with a jumper wire while the other leg portion is offset from the one leg portion to lie flat against the metal shielding of the interconnect cable.
