Patent ID: 8632357

Claim:
A connector for terminating a cable with a plurality of twin-ax wire pairs, each of the twin-ax pairs having an associated drain wire, comprising: a printed circuit board, at least two of the plurality of twin-ax wire pairs terminated at a first side of the printed circuit board and at least two twin-ax wire pairs of the plurality of twin-ax wire pairs terminated at a second side of the printed circuit board; and first and second drain wire termination devices, the first drain wire termination device attached to the first side of the printed circuit board, the second drain wire termination device attached to the second side of the printed circuit board wherein each of the first and second drain wire termination devices has a fin separating terminated ends of each twin-ax wire pair from terminated ends of each adjacent twin-ax wire pair and further wherein each associated drain wire is terminated at at least one of the first and second drain wire termination devices such that a symmetrical path to ground from each conductor of each twin-ax wire pair is provided and wherein the drain wires are terminated to the drain wire termination devices by being pulled through slots located on the drain wire termination devices and secured by copper tape.
