1. A method for improving signal integrity probing, the steps comprising:
- threading one or more coaxial cables or microcoaxial cables through one or more optional alignment substrates, respectively wherein said one or more optional alignment substrates support or align the one or more cable or an array of cables;
separately placing a first grounding pin connected to a ground layer having its own conductive elastomeric coating thereon, said grounding pin being affixed on top of one of one or more an electrically conductive disc formed as a metallic disc isolated from other pins having conductive elastomeric coatings thereon and separately placing a central coaxial conductive pin having a conductive elastomeric coating thereon, said central coaxial pin being affixed on top of one of one or more said electrically conductive discs formed as a metallic disc, said central coaxial conductive pin being isolated from other pins having conductive elastomeric coatings thereon and separately placing another of said grounding pins connected to the ground layer having its own conductive elastomeric coating thereon and improving signal integrity probing by separately placing at least one or more one conductive elastomeric pin to be affixed on top of one or more electrically conductive discs formed as metallic discs isolated from another of said conductive elastomeric pins placed on another of said metallic discs so that each of said conductive elastomeric pins are is placed in fixed contact with at least one of a center conductive region of said one or more cables or said microcoaxial cables so that by isolating said conductive elastomeric regions from each other it prevents electrical shorting and improves signal integrity probing.

Abstract
A method and structure for improving signal integrity probing. A coaxial or a microcoaxial cable is threaded through an optional alignment substrate where the cable is used to support or align the cable or an array of cables. A conductive elastomer is placed on a cable or a microcoaxial cable to improve signal integrity probing.
