FLEMING-2 - 19 - CABLE SHIELD CONNECTING DEVICE Abstract of the Disclosure A connecting device for providing electrical continuity of a metallic shield of a jacketed distribution cable across a splice location and for electrically and mechanically connecting at least one service wire that is electrically connected to the cable at the splice location and to a customer's premise includes a first clamp which comprises an inner plate that is inserted under the shield until a stud upstanding therefrom abuts the cable jacket and shield. An outer plate of the first clamp and an arcuately formed bonding plate of a second clamp, said bonding plate having a relatively short length in a direction along the length of the cable, are positioned over the cable jacket until the stud extends through an opening in each after which a nut is turned onto the stud to secure the first clamp to the cable and the bonding plate to the first clamp. A stepped clamp plate having a midsection connected to two end sections through offsets and an opening in its midsection is positioned over the stud and cooperates with the bonding plate to form a tortuous path of controlled dimensions through the device for service wires to insure sufficient electrical contact of the second clamp with exposed metallic shields of the service wires while preventing inadvertent movement and undue compression of the service wires.
