First Claim
1. A connector assembly (10, 110) comprising:
- a. a connector part (12) having a jack cavity (14);
b. a cable manager part (20) conductively attached to the connector part (12), the cable manager part (20) having;
i. a housing assembly (70, 170) having a central aperture (76, 176) through which a cable (4) having an exposed conductive element (5) can extend;
ii. a grounding clamp assembly (80, 180) held within the housing assembly (70, 170), the grounding clamp assembly including a first clamp member (82, 182) and an oppositely arranged second clamp member (84, 184), the first and second clamp members (82, 182, 84, 184) defining a clamp opening (88, 188) concentrically aligned with the central aperture (76, 176);
iii. a first biasing spring (60, 160) arranged to exert a force on one or both of the clamp members (82, 182, 84, 184) to urge at least one of the ground clamp members (82, 182, 84, 184) against the cable conductive element (5).

Abstract
A method for ascertaining a characteristic variable for evaluating a measuring arrangement comprising a clamp-on, ultrasonic, flow measuring device and a pipe, on which the clamp-on, ultrasonic, flow measuring device is secured, and/or for evaluating measurement operation of such a measuring arrangement, characterized by the method steps as follows: A) providing characteristic values relative to an exciter signal produced by the clamp-on, ultrasonic, flow measuring device; B) providing sensor-specific data as regards acoustic properties of one or more ultrasonic transducers of the clamp-on, ultrasonic, flow measuring device C) inputting data relative to the pipe material and the pipe wall thickness, especially inputting such data by a user, and D) ascertaining the characteristic variable from the parameters and data of steps A-C based on a mathematical model, as well as a computer program product and a clamp-on, ultrasonic, flow measuring device.
