ABSTRACT:
A shroud assembly for a disk drive that includes a rotatable disk, a printed circuit board, a data transfer head, an actuator assembly and a flex cable, includes a cable shrouding portion. The shroud assembly also includes a disk shrouding portion and a cable mounting portion. The cable mounting portion includes a first surface and a second surface. The first surface is configured to receive a transition portion of the flex cable proximate to a second end. The second surface is configured to receive the second end of the flex cable and to position the second end for engagement by the printed circuit board. The cable shrouding portion is configured to shield a spanning portion of the flex cable between the cable mounting portion and the actuator assembly from airflow generated by the rotation of the rotatable disk.
