Patent ID: 8106300

Claim:
A cable assembly for interconnecting a plurality of circuit boards together by using a connector assembly connected to each of the circuit boards, the connector assembly having a plurality signal pins and a plurality of ground pins disposed in a plurality of columns, each column extending in a width direction of the connector assembly, the cable assembly comprising: a first cable having a first end part connected to the connector assembly, the first end part having vias for receiving the signal pins and the ground pins, the vias being disposed to correspond to various ones of the signal pins and the ground pins, a first periphery of the first end part having a portion that has a plurality of first half vias that collectively form a column along the width direction of the connector assembly; and a second cable having a second end part connected to the connector assembly, the second end part having vias for receiving the signal pins and the ground pins, the vias of the second end part being disposed to correspond to various other ones of the signal pins and ground pins, a second periphery of the second end part having a portion that has a plurality of second half vias that collectively form a column along the width direction of the connector assembly, wherein the first periphery of the first end part and the second periphery of the second end part are coupled together, such that the first half vias and the second half vias are joined together to form full vias.
