High-speed data transmissions through a CPU socket are facilitated with CPU socket contacts that have a CPU socket contact body that improves bandwidth throughput. The CPU socket contact body is partially suspended from a CPU socket contact and may include a cavity. The CPU socket contact body includes capacitive impedance that substantially cancels an inductive impedance of the CPU socket contact. Canceling the inductive impedance causes the CPU socket contact to operate like an impedance-matched coaxial transmission line, which enables better bandwidth throughput than a non-impedance matched transmission line.
