Problems solved by technology

However, smaller gauge conductors typically produce significant signal loss, where signal loss increases (e.g., deteriorates) with the length of the cable used to carry the signal, in part because of the thickness of the conductive material through which the signal is carried. Quantity is limited
As such, since the gauge of the cable conductors is limited for space reasons, cable mount electrical connectors will be limited to applications where the distance of the signal path is relatively short to minimize the negative impact of signal loss

Embodiment Construction

[0013] Embodiments presented herein include a cable connector assembly having a cable contact module therein. The cable contact module may be configured with reduced contact spacing between adjacent signal contacts to accommodate circuit cards with greater contact density within a defined contact area. Despite the reduced contact spacing, the cable contact modules of the cable connector assembly can be configured to terminate to multiple cables that include a relatively oversized center conductor that is too large to connect directly to a circuit card. adjacent contact pads. Larger gauge conductors reduce signal loss over longer distances compared to smaller gauge conductors. As such, the cable connector assembly may allow for better signal transmission over longer distances than other assemblies terminated to smaller gauge conductors. Additionally, the cable connector assemblies are configured to share ground components of each cable and provide shielding between adjacent p...

Abstract

The invention relates to a cable connector assembly, and the cable connector assembly comprises a first cable contact module and a second cable contact module (310, 312) which are separated by a gap (154), each of the cable contact module comprises a plurality of cables (122), and each of the cable comprises at least one center conductor (156) in a cable shield (162). Each cable contact module comprises a dielectric frame of a plurality of signal contacts (124) with holding ends connected with the cable center conductor. A ground frame (182) comprises a ground plate (194) connected with the cable of the cable shield. The first cable contact module and the second cable contact module are opposite so that the inner side of the dielectric frame are opposite through the gap. A distance part (314) comprising a first panel (166) and a second panel (168) which are connected by a bridge (170) is arranged in the gap, so that the first panel is connected with the cable shield of the cable along the inner side of the first cable contact module, and the second panel is connected with the cable shield of the cable along the inner side of the second cable contact module.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to a cable connector assembly. Background technique [0002] A type of electrical connector used in galvanic electrical connections configured to receive a mating edge of a circuit card or circuit board. The electrical connector may be referred to as a "jump mount" or "board edge" connector. Typically, the electrical connector includes contacts biased against contact pads or conductors exposed on a mating circuit card surface to form an electrical signal path between the electrical connector and the circuit card. Alternatively, the electrical connector may be a cable mount connector such that the contacts terminate to center conductors in one or more cables extending from the electrical connector away from the circuit card. In some applications, the electrical connector and attached circuit card form a subassembly for another device in a wider communication system, and one or more cables connect to other compon...
