FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a cable harness assembly and, more particularly, to a cable harness assembly with a shielded twisted pair cable.

BACKGROUND

A connector assembly is secured to a shielded twisted pair cable in order to permit separable electrical connection of the shielded twisted pair cable to other electrical elements. The connector assembly often includes a housing and a ferrule that is used to prevent movement of the cable with respect to the housing. The ferrule, however, is often the only element that secures both the components of the housing together and the cable to the housing, increasing difficulty in assembly and in servicing a cable harness assembly formed by the connector assembly and the cable. Further, the shielded twisted pair cable is untwisted inside the housing to connect to the other electrical elements, complicating control of the impedance of the cable.

SUMMARY

A cable harness assembly includes a cable having a pair of wires and a connector assembly including an inner ferrule formed of a conductive material. Each of the wires has a conductor and a insulation disposed around the conductor. The pair of wires have a twisted region and an untwisted region. The inner ferrule has a cable passageway extending through the inner ferrule and a separator disposed within the cable passageway. The untwisted region is disposed in the inner ferrule and the separator is disposed between the wires in the untwisted region.
