1. A cable assembly, comprising:
- a plurality of differential pair cables arranged in juxtaposition relationship to form a flat link cable having a first end and a second end; and
an outer sheath of insulating material formed around said plurality of differential pair cables, each of said plurality of differential pair cables comprising two wires arranged in juxtaposition relationship and disposed in an individual dielectric medium which embeds said two wires of only one of said plurality of differential pair cables in constant spatial relationship over a length, and a metallic shield disposed around an outer surface of each of said individual dielectric medium.

Abstract
A link cable assembly is provided as an interface between a network cable test instrument and a network to be tested. The link cable assembly includes a link cable that is constructed to minimize cross talk and have long-term high quality reliability. Interchangeable connector personality modules releasably attached to the link cable permit testing networks having different electrical characteristics. Calibration data may be stored within the cable assembly to allow intrinsic “patch cord” return loss to be factored out of network cable measurements.
