Electrical connector and modules for high-speed connectivity
First Claim
1. A connector module comprising:
- an electrically conductive isolator comprising;
a first cavity configured to receive a cable containing a plurality of twisted pairs of wires;
a forward section having a plurality of channels, each channel having at least one horizontal wall and at least one vertical wall, each channel configured to receive a twisted pair of the plurality of twisted pairs; and
a junction between the first cavity and the forward section, the junction configured to receive the cable and separate each twisted pair of the plurality of twisted pairs of wires into a different channel of the forward section;
a first insulating member having a plurality of indentations and coupled to at least a portion of the horizontal and vertical walls of the channels;
a plurality of electrical contacts situated in the indentations of the first insulating member and electrically coupled to an end of each wire in each twisted pair of the plurality of twisted pairs; and
a second insulating member surrounding the first insulating member and the conductors.

Abstract
A connector system having a plurality of high-speed connector modules, an anti-decoupling connector shell, and a multi axis backshell is provided. The high-speed module provides a low signal degradation electrically conductive signal path for terminated wires of twisted pairs of wires. The high-speed module additionally provides for dense placement of the terminated wires within the connector shell. The connector shell provides an anti-decoupling mechanism to prevent decoupling of the connector shell from a socket type connector shell resulting from typical forces applied to the connector shell. The multi-axis backshell provides mechanisms to toollessly adjust the angle of the various components making up the backshell which in turn provides a specifically angled path for cables contained within the backshell.
