1. A cable connection construction for a cable having a conductive polymeric element such as a conductive polymeric core or shield layer, comprising;

  • a first component comprising a first deformable portion for attachment to a conductive polymeric element of a cable such as a core or shield layer by means of crimping said first deformable portion about said conductive polymeric core or shield layer, said first component additionally having a male element contiguously joined to said first deformable portion for mating with a female recess disposed in an electrical connector; and

    a second component comprising an electrical connector having a second deformable portion and a solid portion defining a female recess for receipt of, and mating with, said male element of said first component, said second deformable portion of said second component being securable about said first deformable portion of said first component by crimping said second deformable portion about said first deformable portion, whereby said electrical connector is attached to the conductive polymeric element by means of a double crimp that provides a connection of improved mechanical strength.
