Cable module connector assembly suitable for use in blind-mate applications

A cable module for interconnecting a first circuit board with a plurality of second circuit boards, the first and second circuit board being angularly offset from each other, the module assembly, comprising:

• a module body including front and rear ends and side edges interconnecting the front and rear ends together, the module body further including a base and a cover spaced apart from each other to define an interior space therebetween;
• a set of first connectors disposed in an array extending along the module front end, and a set of second connector disposed in an array extending along one of the module side edges, each of the first and second connectors including an insulative connector housing supporting a plurality of conductive terminals therein, each terminal having a tail portion extending toward the module interior space, and a contact portion extending away from the module interior space;
• a plurality of flexible cables disposed in the module body interior space, each of the cables having first and second ends, the cables including a plurality of wires extending therein between the cable first and second ends, the wires being terminated to the first and second connector terminal tail portions respectively near the cable first and second ends, the cables including at least one bend disposed therein between the cable first and second ends;
• the first connectors being operatively connected, as a set, to the cable module by way of a movable mechanism which permits them to be selectively advanced in and out of engagement with a set of opposing mating connectors;
• and
• an actuator exterior of the cable module for actuating the moveable mechanism.
