Patent ID: 7946853

Claim:
An axial cable configured to contact a receiving structure, the axial cable comprising: a) a first conductor generally axially aligned with the axial cable and configured to contact the receiving structure at a first conductor end, wherein the first conductor is non-compliant; b) a second conductor disposed about the first conductor; c) a second conductor contactor positioned about the first conductor and secured to an end of the axial cable, wherein the second conductor contactor is configured to contact the receiving structure at a second conductor contactor end, wherein the second conductor contactor end is positioned to contact the receiving structure prior to the first conductor end contacting the receiving structure as the axial cable contacts the receiving structure, and wherein the second conductor contactor is compliant to allow the first conductor end to contact the receiving structure; d) a spacer positioned between the first conductor and the second conductor contactor; and e) wherein the second conductor contactor has a central axis aligned with a central axis of the axial cable, and wherein the second conductor contactor electrically contacts the second conductor.
