Electronic assembly having a cable connector module

Abstract

A cable connector module (110) includes a housing (300) includes contact pockets (320) and contact modules (400) received in the corresponding contact pockets. Each contact module includes a contact holder (410) holding contacts (430) in pairs. The cable connector module includes cables (102) having cable ends terminated to the contact modules. The cable connector module includes ground cages (500) associated with the cables and the corresponding contact modules. Each ground cage provides circumferential shielding around the cable end of the corresponding cable and around the contact modules. The ground cage is electrically connected to the cable shield (106) of the corresponding cable and is mechanically coupled to the housing.
