Claim 19:
20. A cable connector module comprising:
a housing having a cavity;
a circuit card held by the housing, the circuit card having a mounting surface, the circuit card including signal contact pads on the mounting surface, the signal contact pads being arranged in pairs, the circuit card including a plurality of rows of the signal contact pads; and
cable assemblies terminated to the mounting surface of the circuit card, each cable assembly including a cable and a ground clip coupled to an end of the cable, the ground clip coupling the cable to the mounting surface of the circuit card, the cable having an insulator holding a first signal conductor and a second signal conductor, the cable having a cable shield surrounding the insulator, the first and second signal conductors having exposed portions extending forward of an end of the insulator at an end of the cable soldered to corresponding signal contact pads, the ground clip including a bottom ground rake below the cable and a top ground hood above the cable, the bottom ground rake including a window that receives the exposed portions of the first and second signal conductors therethrough, the bottom ground rake including a lower grounding tab being electrically connected to a lower portion of the cable shield, the top ground hood including an upper grounding tab being electrically connected to an upper portion of the cable shield, wherein the ground clip includes a cable pocket between the lower grounding tab and the upper grounding tab, the cable pocket extends in a cable exit direction angled transverse relative to the mounting surface of the circuit card to support the cable in the cable exit direction.
