Abstract:
1. An apparatus comprising: a first conductor having an elongate body configured to carry electrical signals; and a first contact directly coupled to a first end of the first conductor, wherein the first contact is configured to contact a first pad on a first side of an edge finger; a second contact directly coupled to a second end of the first conductor, wherein the second contact is configured to be coupled to a small form-factor pluggable (SFP) case, and wherein the SFP case is configured to couple the second contact to an SFP cable; a second conductor having an elongate body configured to carry an electrical signal; and a third contact directly coupled to the second conductor, wherein the third contact is configured to contact a second pad on a second side of the edge finger; a ground shield disposed around the first conductor; a ground bar coupled to the ground shield; and a ground contact coupled to the ground bar and configured to couple the ground bar to a ground pad of the edge finger; wherein the edge finger is included in or coupled to a substrate to route the electrical signals to or from a processor coupled to the substrate.
