Patent ID: 8523611

Claim:
A cable assembly comprising a cable and an electrical connector connected to an end of the cable, the electrical connector further comprising: a printed circuit board having a rear edge connected to the cable and a front edge opposite to the rear edge; a plurality of upper contact modules stacked along the front edge on a top side of the printed circuit board, each of the upper contact modules having at least one first conductor pairs for transferring signal differential pairs lined along a column perpendicular to the printed circuit board and a first insulator encapsulating a center portion of each first conductor of the first conductor pairs, each first conductor of the first conductor pairs further comprising a front portion for mating with a complementary connector and a rear portion mounted onto the printed circuit board; and a plurality of lower contact modules stacked along the front edge on a bottom side of the printed circuit board, each of the lower contact modules having at least one second conductor pairs for transferring signal differential pairs lined along a column perpendicular to the printed circuit board and a second insulator encapsulating a center portion of each second conductor of the second conductor pairs, each second conductor of the second conductor pairs further comprising a front portion for mating with the same complementary connector and a rear portion mounted onto the printed circuit board.
