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: A cable assembly includes a contact ribbon made of a single stamping and including pairs of first and second signal contacts and includes a cable including pairs of first and second center conductors connected to corresponding pairs of first and second signal contacts. The contact ribbon includes a ground plane, a first row of ground contacts extending from the ground plane in a row along a first side of the ground plane such that a first line extending through the first row of ground contacts does not intersect with any signal contacts, and a second row of ground contacts extending from the ground plane in a row along a second side of the ground plane such that a second line extending through the second row of ground contacts does not intersect with any signal contacts.

Abstract: A connector mountable to a main printed circuit board (PCB) includes at least one carrier, at least one cable mounted to the at least one carrier, and an interposer that routes signals and ground connections between the at least one cable and the main PCB when the connector is mounted to the main PCB. The at least one cable is vertically mounted in the connector such that the at least one cable is perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to a mounting surface of the main PCB.
