Abstract: A connection system has a high-density, high-speed connector that is electrically connected to a plurality of cables by a tiered circuit board. Edges of the circuit board are offset in order to form steps on which conductive pads may be formed. Each set of pads on a given step may be electrically connected to one or more conductors of a cable, such as a twinax ribbon cable. Thus, each of the cables may be coupled to one or more conductive pads on a respective step of the circuit board such that a large number of conductors may be electrically interfaced with the connector in a relatively small space, unencumbered by the bend radius of the cable. In addition, the cables may be coupled to the circuit board in a manner that does not require significant bending at the ends of the cables helping to preserve signal integrity. That is, conductive paths turn at high angles (e.g., close to 90 degrees) within the circuit board rather than at the ends of the cables connected to the circuit board.

Abstract: A connector system includes a main board and an interposer board. The main board and the interposer board are each configured to mate to a separate connector and are connected together by vias. The vias can provide an electrical path from the interposer board to the main circuit board so that a first connector mounted on the interposer board can be positioned directly in line with a second connector mounted on the main circuit board. The interposer helps make the routing out of signal traces from the two connector simpler while reducing the need for additional layers on the main board. Two connectors can be press-fit mounted to the main board and the interposer board in a belly-to-belly configuration.
