Abstract: An electrical communication system includes a plurality of cable connectors that are configured to mate with the same electrical connector or electrical connectors having substantially identical mating interfaces. The cable connectors can be configured as an electrical cable connector, an optical cable connector, and a hybrid cable connector that includes both optical and electrical communication.

Abstract: A connector includes a housing; a cage surrounding the housing; first contacts that are located in the housing and that transmit high-speed signals; second contacts that are located in the housing, that transmit low-speed signals, and that each include a portion that extends from a top surface of the housing; first cables connected to the first contacts; and second cables connected to the second contacts.

Abstract: A cable connector includes a cable including a center conductor and a housing supporting a portion of the center conductor. An imaginary line divides a cross-section of the center conductor into two semicircles, and when the cable connector is mated with a mating connector, only one of the two semicircles is directly connected with a corresponding contact of the mating connector.

Abstract: A data communication system can include a low-profile electrical connector that is sized to be mounted onto a PCB in a gap between the PCB and a heat sink that overhangs from an IC that is mounted to the PCB. The data communication system further includes an electrical cable that extends from the electrical connector to an optical transceiver. A cable management laminate can route the electrical cables along a predetermined path. The data communication system can be disposed in a system tray that is configured to force air over the heat sink. The airflow over the heat sink can be adjustable.

Abstract: This present disclosure increases the interconnect density by using a different technology approach than the industry is currently using (stamping and molding). By using a MEMS-based technology approach, better geometry and impedance control can be carried out to reduce impedance discontinuities and feature size. Additional concepts include low connector insertion force, no contact wiping, and a precise alignment mechanism between the connector contacts and those on the mating substrate.

Abstract: An optical block includes a first surface that receives light entering the optical block, a second surface through which the light exits the optical block, and a reflector that reflects light from the first surface towards the second surface. The reflector includes a textured surface that scatters or absorbs some of the light received from the first surface to attenuate the light exiting the optical block through the second surface.
