Embodiment Construction

[0029] In one embodiment, a connector assembly is provided that includes a coaxial connector module and a fiber optic module coupled to the coaxial connector module. The coaxial connector module includes a connector body and coaxial contacts. The connector body extends between a front side and a rear side. The connector body has contact channels therethrough that retain corresponding coaxial contacts for engaging corresponding mating coaxial contacts of a mating connector assembly. The front side faces the mating direction along the mating axis. The connector body has a mating interface and a fastener opening open at the mating interface to receive a fastener. The connector body has a window at the mating interface. The fiber optic module includes a housing coupled to a mating interface of the connector body. The housing has a cavity and a fastener opening that aligns with a fastener opening in the connector body and receives the fastener to secure the housing at the matin...

Abstract

A connector assembly (100) includes a coaxial connector module (102) and a fiber optic module (104) coupled to the coaxial connector module. The coaxial connector module includes a connector body (126) and coaxial contacts (132) in contact channels (184). The connector body has a mating interface (250) and fastener openings (254) open at the mating interface to receive fasteners (256) and a window(258) at the mating interface. The fiber optic module includes a housing (400) coupled to the mating interface of the connector body having a cavity (404) and fastener openings (408) receiving the fasteners to couple the housing to the connector body at the mating interface. The fiber optic module includes a fiber optic connector (502) received in the cavity having a mating end (508) and a fiberoptic cable (512) extending therefrom. The fiber optic connector is received in the window for mating with a mating fiber optic connector of the mating connector assembly.

Description

technical field [0001] The subject matter described and / or illustrated herein relates generally to communication systems having connector assemblies. Background technique [0002] Connector assemblies are known for interconnecting various components. Some communication systems include different types of connector assemblies with different interfaces. For example, some known communication systems include coaxial connectors and fiber optic connectors within the system. Typically, coaxial connectors are mounted to one area of ​​the board, while fiber optic connectors are mounted to a different area of ​​the board. As an example, a backplane communication system may include a large backplane circuit board that includes one or more coaxial connectors and one or more fiber optic connectors and fiber optic connectors. Coaxial and fiber optic connectors are typically routed along the mating edges of the backplane circuit board. The coaxial and fiber optic connectors each occupy...
