US Patent 11011875 Electrical cable braid positioning clip

A cable assembly and method for terminating an end of a cable. The cable assembly includes a ferrule secured to a cable jacket at the end of the cable. The cable also has a braided shield which extends from the end of the cable to the portion of the inner connector positioned in the ferrule. A transition zone is provided between the end of the cable and an end of a portion of an inner connector positioned in the ferrule. A braid positioning clip engages the braided shield in the transition zone to maintain a relationship of the braided shield to the signal conductors to minimize the degradation of the electrical performance of the cable.
