Abstract:
1. The method of extending the individual electromagnetic shielding of electrical cables of a cable-strand to an electrical connector, said method comprising: a) stripping end segments of the cables of their individual shielding coverings so that each covering as removed in this way from the corresponding cables forms a unit shielding pigtail extending from a terminal portion of the strand from which the shielding has not been removed; b) connecting said ends of the cables to the connector; c) winding a conductive packing strip around said terminal portion of the strand until the diameter thereof reaches a predetermined value, while folding back and distributing said unit shielding pigtails in uniform manner around the circumference of the terminal portion of the strand within at least one or two successive turns of the packing strips; d) surrounding said packing strip wound around the terminal portion of the strand with a reinforcing spring blade of annular shape; e) surrounding the reinforcing spring blade within two electrically-conductive half-shells including complementary coupling means; and f) coupling the half-shells to each other and connecting them mechanically and electrically to the connector.
