Electrophysiology catheter cables are designed as electrode cables with a multi-pin connector on the distal end and the appropriate number of tails on the proximal end. The cables serve two different purposes. They either serve as an extension between an EP catheter and equipment out of reach or they interface an EP catheter with the appropriate external stimulation of recording equipment.
