ABSTRACT:
A connector assembly for connecting a triaxial cable to a coaxial cable. The assembly includes a first connector member supporting a plurality of triaxial connectors, and a second connector member matable with said first connector member and supporting a plurality of coaxial connectors. The second connector member includes an electrically conductive support member having a plurality of apertures within which the coaxial connectors are supported, and upon mating of the first and second connector members, the outer contact of each triaxial connector will engage the conductive support member of the second connector member to provide a grounding path to dissipate noise carried by the outer conductor of the triaxial cable. The remaining connections for the center contact and intermediate contact of the triaxial connector are made in a standard fashion to the center contact and outer contact of the coaxial connector. With the present invention, a triaxial cable can be used when desired to provide additional electromagnetic shielding and a greater reduction of noise levels, and a coaxial cable can be used when preferred such as to carry a signal into a housing and into circuitry wherein any noise retained on the outer conductor of a triaxial cable can interfere with proper operation of the circuitry electronics.
