Abstract: A connector that includes a contact, a connection piece, and a cooling unit. The connection piece is received by the contact, and the cooling unit is connected to the connection piece. The cooling unit includes a heat sink spaced from the contact, a first heat exchanger section between the contact and the connection piece, a second heat exchanger section positioned in the heat sink and in communication with the first heat exchanger section, and a heat transfer medium that circulates between the first heat exchanger section and the second heat exchanger section.

Abstract: A receptacle electrical connector includes a metallic shell, an insulating bracket defining a receiving cavity, an upper member including a base portion and a mating portion and a lower insulating member distinct from and assembled with the base portion. The upper member is loaded with upper contacts with contacting portions arranged on an upper surface of the mating portion and a shielding plate is located between the upper and lower surface of the upper member. The lower member is loaded with lower contacts with contacting portions extending beyond a front edge of the lower insulating member and arranged on the lower surface of the mating tongue. The assembled base portion and the lower member is received in the receiving cavity of the insulating bracket and the mating portion extends beyond a front face of the insulating bracket and surrounding by the metallic shell to define a mating cavity thereamong.

Abstract: An input/output cable port assembly and electromagnetic interference attenuation method are provided. The cable port assembly includes a cable port structure mounted to an electronics rack with an opening for input/output cables to pass therethrough, and multiple bottom ferrite inductor portions and multiple top ferrite inductor portions. The bottom and top ferrite inductor portions include first and second surfaces, respectively. The inductor portions are configured to be stacked within the cable port structure with their first and second surfaces in opposing relation to define at least one ferrite inductor with a central opening defined by the first and second surfaces for input/output cable(s) of the electronics rack to pass. The ferrite inductor attenuates electromagnetic interference resulting from transient or steady state current on the cable(s) passing therethrough.
