Abstract

For use with a flexible cable having a central current carrying electrical conductor, a symmetrical layer of insulation concentrically surrounding the central conductor, a symmetrical circumferential layer of shielding conductor surrounding the layer of insulation, and a symmetrical outer sheath of insulation surrounding the shielding conductor, a wiring system formed of a fitting of conductive material having a passageway therethrough that receives the flexible cable, a short length shield connector of bare conductive metal having a first portion inserted through an opening in the flexible cable outer sheath of insulation to conductively engage the cable circumferential layer of shielding conductor and having a second portion that remains exterior of the flexible cable outer sheath of insulation; and a short length electrically conductive tubular ground ring slidably received on the cable and overlying a portion of the shield connector, the ground ring being crimpable whereby when crimped it securely engages the exterior of the cable and the shield connector, the fitting being slidably positioned over the ground ring, continuity thereby being provided from the cable shielding conductor through the shield connector and the ground ring to the fitting.
