Abstract:
1. An electrical connector comprising: a first pair of conductors; a second pair of conductors; electromagnetic interference (EMI) absorbing material; and a shielding material, wherein the EMI absorbing material and the shielding material form a multi-layer structure including alternating layers of EMI absorbing material and the shielding material at least partially separating the first pair of conductors from the second pair of conductors, wherein each of the first pair and second pair of conductors define one of a differential pair or a signal conductor/ground pair, wherein the EMI absorbing material is configured to attenuate, primarily by absorption, an electromagnetic field generated due to transmission of electrical signals via one of the first pair and second pair of conductors to reduce the electromagnetic inference from the electromagnetic field on the other of the first pair and second pair of conductors, and wherein any percent attenuation of an electromagnetic field between the respective conductors provided by the EMI absorbing material is less than a percent attenuation of the electromagnetic field provided by the EMI absorbing material separating the first pair of conductors from the second pair of conductors.
