Abstract: An interconnection system is configured to be carried by a substrate and includes a cage that is configured to be connected to the substrate, that includes a first end and a second end opposed to the first end, and that is configured to receive an interconnection module; and an electrical connector located at the second end of the cage. The electrical connector includes a fixed connector that is configured to be rigidly attached to the substrate and a detachable connector that is configured to be mated and unmated from the fixed connector.

Abstract: An interconnect system includes a first circuit board, first and second connectors connected to the first circuit board, and a transceiver including an optical engine and arranged to receive and transmit electrical and optical signals through a cable, to convert optical signals received from the cable into electrical signals, and to convert electrical signals received from the first connector into optical signals to be transmitted through the cable. The transceiver is arranged to mate with the first and second connectors so that at least some converted electrical signals are transmitted to the first connector and so that at least some electrical signals received from the cable are transmitted to the second connector.

Abstract: An electrical connector includes a heat dissipation module with a first end and a second end opposed to the first end and two receptacle connectors located at the second end. The first and second ends define a transceiver-mating direction such that, when a transceiver is inserted into the first end of the heat dissipation module in the transceiver-mating direction, the transceiver mates with one of the two receptacle connectors, and in the heat dissipation module, air flows parallel to the transceiver-mating direction between the first and second ends and flows between the two receptacle connectors.

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: A system includes a substrate including a first row of first receptacles, a cradle including an opening and a spring member, connectors located within the opening, and cables connected to the connectors. The cradle is configured to connect each of the connectors simultaneously or nearly simultaneously to a corresponding first receptacle, and the spring member pushes on the connectors with a force greater than an insertion force of the first receptacle.
