Abstract:
1. A cable connector assembly, comprising: a fitting having first and second fitting ends and a fitting opening therethrough, wherein the fitting is formed from a conductive material; a ferrule having first and second ferrule ends, a ferrule opening therethrough, and one or more teeth disposed axially along the ferrule opening, wherein the ferrule is formed from a conductive material and wherein the first ferrule end is disposed over the second fitting end; and a tube including an outer nonconductive layer and an inner conductive layer; wherein the tube is disposed between the second fitting end and the first ferrule end and the ferrule is secured around the fitting so that at least one of the one or more teeth pierce the outer nonconductive layer and make contact with the inner conductive layer to create an EMI/RFI shield across the fitting, the ferrule, and the tube.
