1. A separable electrical connector for separably, electrically interconnecting the conductors of one multi-conductor cable to the conductors of a second multi-conductor cable, comprising:

  • at least two multi-conductor cables, each cable having a plurality of at least partially-exposed conductors, with the exposed conductors of two of the cables in proximity to one another, at least one such cable being a multi-axial cable comprising at least two spaced coaxial conductors;

    anisotropic conductive elastomer (ACE) in electrical contact directly with the exposed conductors that are in proximity to one another; and

    mechanical structure that holds at least the multi-axial cable and compresses the ACE, to provide electrical signal paths between the conductors of the cables that are in proximity to one another through the ACE.
