Abstract: An exemplary flag mount bracket having a body defining a base surface, a bracket flag holder portion, and a plurality of spaced attachment slots extending through the body in spaced generally parallel relation to the base surface. Flexible fastening members each extend from a secured position within an attachment slot outwardly from the body. The fastening members are adapted to fixedly secure the body to a support surface and to be repeatedly quickly and easily attached to and detached from the support surface without damage to the support surface. A flag pole attaches to the flag holder portion to support a display flag. The flexible fastening members comprise flexible straps with mating fastening material on opposed sides of the straps. In another exemplary embodiment, suction cups extend outwardly from the base surface to securely engage a substantially flat support surface in removable relation.

Abstract: A differential connector has a plurality of rows. Each row includes a plurality of signal conductors provided as differential pairs. Each signal conductor has a first contact end connectable to a printed circuit board, a second contact end, and an intermediate portion having a first width. For each differential pair, one first contact end lies along a first line parallel to the plurality of rows and the other first contact end lies along a second line parallel to and spaced from the first line. The differential connector further includes a plurality of ground conductors, with each ground conductor corresponding to a differential pair. Each ground conductor has a first contact end connectable to the printed circuit board, a second contact end, and an intermediate portion having a second width that is at least twice the first width.

Abstract: A midplane has a first side to which contact ends of a first differential connector are connected and a second side opposite the first side to which contact ends of a second differential connector are connected. The midplane includes a plurality of vias extending from the first side to the second side, with the vias providing first signal launches on the first side and second signal launches on the second side. The first signal launches are provided in a plurality of rows, with each row having first signal launches along a first line and first signal launches along a second line substantially parallel to the first line. The second signal launches are provided in a plurality of columns, with each column having second signal launches along a third line and second signal launches along a fourth line substantially parallel to the third line.
