  • Electrical connector assembly having an RF absorber
    Patent number: 8870595
    Abstract: An electrical connector assembly is provided with a shielding cage member having an upper port and a lower port configured to receive pluggable modules therein. The cage member has side walls that extend along sides of the upper and lower ports. The cage member includes a separator member that extends between the side walls and between the upper and lower ports. The separator member has an upper plate and a lower plate with a channel therebetween. A light pipe organizer is positioned within the channel. An RF absorber is positioned within the channel in engagement with the light pipe organizer. The RF absorber reduces an amount of electromagnetic interference (EMI) emitted from the channel.
