ABSTRACT:
A cable terminal which connects two woven ribbon cables and has a terminal connector which is capable of engaging standard device connectors. A switch mounted in the cable terminal provides selective interconnection of the woven ribbon cables in the cable terminal which allows the channel to be fed back when the cable terminal is unplugged. The cable terminal can be employed in a tag cable for computer applications. The cable terminal utilizes a housing which can be disassembled for repair of conductive connections within the cable terminal. The cable terminal employs a PC board which provides two-sided termination with a separate connector for each signal wire to reduce termination time. Additionally, mass ground terminators are also provided to reduce termination time. Teeth are incorporated within the structure of the housing to engage the woven ribbon cable so as to provide strain relief between the woven ribbon cable and the PC board. The cable terminal provides for in-line connection of the signal wires while allowing interconnection to other pins through the conductive paths provided on the PC board. This allows easy and quick connection of the signal wires to the PC board and interconnection with nonspatially aligned pins.
