Derek, Suggest using a connector having #(Conductors + Braids), pins. Bond all the Braid pins together and ground, (Or continue thru the connector as desired), via shortest connection. For symmetry, Braid Pin Ground Ring could be made around outside periphery of connector pins. Good Luck! Tony Firth, EE, Genus,Inc.,Sunnyvale,CA
---------- Hi Ken, I'm open to this, but the cables that pass through ( there could be as many as 10 ), all have their own braids, and are impedance matched. I really don't want to just squish them together and hope it makes good contact all around.... Not sure if I'd change the cables impedance ( they are impedance controlled cables ) at the clamping point.... Cheers, Derek N. Walton
