Abstract:
A method for connecting electronic devices comprising:providing a plurality of cables each having at least two ends; shielding signal lines of the plurality of connecting cables between the ends thereof by first external conductors, respectively; connecting one end of the first external conductors to a reference potential of at least one first electronic device, and electrically connecting the other ends of the first external conductors to each other; shielding said first external conductors by a common second external conductor; connecting the second external conductor to a reference potential of a second electronic device, electrically connecting the other ends of the first external conductors to each other, and covering said first external conductors by a third external conductor which contacts the outside of a bundle of the first external conductors of the plurality of connecting cables so as to oppose the second external conductor; and coupling the reference potential of the first and second electronic devices through a stray capacity between the second and third external conductors.
