  • Patent number: 6916198
    Abstract: A high speed cable connector (1) includes a cover (10), a base (80) and a cable assembly (30) mounted between the cover and the base. The cable assembly includes a cable (42) consisting of a plurality of lines (44). Each line has a signal pair (47, 48) and a ground conductor (492). The signal pair includes a pair of upper and lower signal conductors (472, 482). The ground conductors are soldered to shielding plates (50). The shielding plates are soldered to top and bottom faces of a rear end of a printed circuit board (PCB) (62). The upper and lower signal conductors of each signal pair are soldered to the top and bottom faces of the rear end of the PCB, respectively, and located between two neighboring shielding plates, whereby cross-talk and interference between two neighboring signal pairs can be effectively suppressed and reduced. The PCB has a front end electrically connecting with contacts (662) for electrically engaging with a complementary connector.

  • Patent number: 6634797
    Abstract: A multi-fiber array assembly comprises a main housing, a ferrule holder, a stopper, a front plate, a strain relief assembly, springs and ferrules with optical fibers retained therein. The ferrule holder is retained in the housing, and comprises a ferrule holding plate defining a first array of holes. The stopper is secured to the ferrule holder at a location rearward of the first array of holes, and defines a plurality of passages. The ferrules have a conical front ends, and are extended in the first array of holes. The springs are compressed between the ferrules and the stopper. The optical fibers extend through the passages of the stopper. The front plate is secured to a front end of the ferrule holder and defines a second array of the hole. Each hole of the second array has a rear conical section in which the conical front end of a corresponding ferrule is fitted.
