Abstract:
A structure for terminating an electrical cable comprising:a circuit board; two differential transmission signal wires having respective core wires each with an outer insulating covering; a single drain wire disposed adjacent to the differential transmission signal wires at an equal distance from each of the differential transmission signal wires; a shielding covering that surrounds the differential transmission signal wires and the drain wire; an exposed area formed by stripping the shielding covering around the two differential transmission signal wires and the drain wire at a terminal part of the electrical cable; and a heat-shrink tube covering a portion of the shielding covering and exposed area, except for a front end portion of the differential transmission signal wires and the drain wire, so that the equal distances between the differential transmission signal wires and the drain wire inside the shielding covering are maintained in the exposed area by the heat-shrink tube and the differential transmission signal wires and the drain wire are positioned on the circuit board such that the front end portions of the differential transmission signal wires are positioned on a first side of the circuit board and the front end portion of the drain wire is positioned a second side of the circuit board; wherein the drain wire is positioned on the circuit board at an intermediate point between the differential transmission signal wires.
