Abstract:
Interconnection system comprising two coaxial cables connected together by mutable connector halves, each one of the two coaxial cables having a cable center conductor disposed within a cable outer shield, wherein:a first half of the mutable connector halves is a male connector half formed of a first insulating housing in which is disposed at least one conductive pin being electrically connected to the cable center conductor of a first one of the two coaxial cables and at least partly captivated by a first dielectric bead within a first connector shield, the first connector shield being electrically connected with the cable outer shield of a first one of the two coaxial cables; a second half of the mutable connector halves is a female connector half formed of a second insulating housing in which is disposed at least one conductive receptacle being electrically connected to the cable center conductor of a second one of the two coaxial cables and at least partly captivated by a second dielectric bead within a second connector shield, the second connector shield being electrically connected with the cable outer shield of a second one of the two coaxial cables; the at least one conductive receptacle being dimensioned to accept the at least one conductive pin and the second insulating housing with second dielectric bead being dimensioned to accept the first insulating housing with the first dielectric bead; and wherein the insertion loss of the interconnect system is below 3 dB at a frequency of 6 Ghz.
