Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to shielded cables and in particular to an electrically conductive junction between the conduit which shields the cable and the electrical connector at the end of the cable which serves as the cable termination. In accordance with the invention this junction is molded directly onto the conduit and the electrical connector.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
72 words
That method of manufacturing a cable termination for a cable having a first shield and having a number of conductors, which number is at least one which method comprises connecting said number of conductors to a connector plug having a second shield so as to form a cable-plug assembly, placing said assembly in a mold which extends over both shields, filling said mold with cast metallic conductive material, and removing said mold.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
72 words
That method of manufacturing a cable termination for a cable having a first shield and having a number of conductors, which number is at least one which method comprises connecting said number of conductors to a connector plug having a second shield so as to form a cable-plug assembly, placing said assembly in a mold which extends over both shields, filling said mold with cast metallic conductive material, and removing said mold.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
80 words
A termination assembly for a cable comprising, in combination with a cable having an overall cable shield and having a number of conductors, which number is at least one, a connector plug havng a shield and being connected to said number of conductors of said cable so that said shield is longitudinally spaced from said overall cable shield by an intershield gap, and cast metallic rigid conductive material engaging both of said shields and surrounding and filling the intershield gap.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
80 words
A termination assembly for a cable comprising, in combination with a cable having an overall cable shield and having a number of conductors, which number is at least one, a connector plug havng a shield and being connected to said number of conductors of said cable so that said shield is longitudinally spaced from said overall cable shield by an intershield gap, and cast metallic rigid conductive material engaging both of said shields and surrounding and filling the intershield gap.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
15 words
A termination assembly in accordance with claim 2 wherein said cable is a multi-conductor cable.
