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.
Claims21
A cable assembly comprising:
- at least thirty-two twin axial cables, each of the at least thirty-two twin axial cables:
- includes a first conductor and a second conductor,
- defines a first end and a second end opposed to the first end, and
- has a gauge of 32-36 AWG;
- at least four rows of electrical contact pairs connected to respective first ends of the at least thirty-two twin axial cables, each of the at least four rows of electrical contact pairs includes at least eight differential signal pairs;
- and
- a first electrical panel connector connected to respective second ends of the at least thirty-two twin axial cables, the first electrical panel connector includes thirty-two differential signal pairs and mates with an external cable connector, wherein
- the cable assembly is sized and shaped such that the first electrical panel connector of the cable assembly fits within a 0.875 in height of a 1 RU panel, and
- the cable assembly operates at 56 Gb/s with a frequency domain crosstalk of −40 dB or better.
