The coaxial cables 104, 106, 108 and the drain wire 114 may be disposed within the outer jacket 102 according to any suitable criteria. For example, the coaxial cables 104, 106, 108 and the drain wire 114 may be arranged into an array configured to align the wires according to a desired orientation or mapping at the receiving end to allow for easier connection to the source device. The array may be configured to pre-align each cable/wire with the corresponding connection location on the BGA 404 or the two sets of pads 504, 506. By pre-aligning the coaxial cables 104, 106, 108 and the drain wire 114, the cable assembly 100 may be terminated to the source device more rapidly and easily, since individual cables/wires do not have to be overly manipulated or otherwise processed prior to being connected to the source device. This may allow for connection by manual, semi-automated, or fully automated methods, providing greater efficiency and improved quality control in the manufacturing process.

Referring now to FIGS. 4A, 4B, 5A, 5B, and 6A-6D, the coaxial cables 104, 106, 108 and the drain wire 114 may be pre-aligned by any suitable method or process or according to any criteria. For example, in one embodiment, the coaxial cables 104, 106, 108 and the drain wire 114 may be spaced according to a layout of the BGA 404, such as a 2×2 array or a 4×1 array. Alternatively, the coaxial cables 104, 106, 108 and the drain wire 114 may be spaced according to a thickness of the circuit board 402 and the position of the pads along the edge portion 508.
