Abstract
A cable assembly includes a printed circuit board having a first surface and a second surface. A first post and a second post extend from one side of the printed circuit board. A first signal pad, a second signal pad, and a first ground pad are each coupled to the first surface. A first cable has a first signal wire at least partially covered by a first insulator and a second signal wire at least partially covered by a second insulator. The first cable further has a first ground shield at least partially covering the first and second insulators. A first end of a first cable is mounted between the first and second posts. A conductive attachment couples the first ground shield to the first ground pad.
