Abstract

A connector system, method and apparatus for an EMI enclosure such as a Gauss/Faraday cage or chamber. The connector system, method and/or apparatus includes one or more individual conductors located within the EMI enclosure to eliminate EMI/E&H field effects with respect to applications such as a small form factor cable applications, high density cable applications, and a high speed (e.g., greater than 1 Gbps) multiconductor copper-based cable applications. This approach therefore isolates individual or multiple cable signals (e.g., single conductors) within individual Gaussian/Faraday cages to eliminate EMI/E&H field effects for small form factor, high density, high speed (e.g., >1 Gbps) multiconductor copper based cable applications.
