1. A connector assembly comprising:
a first housing having a mating side for mating with a mating connector and a rear side; a plurality of vertically spaced apart circuit board cable assemblies disposed within the first housing, each circuit board cable assembly comprising:
a printed circuit board (PCB) comprising an upper surface, an opposing lower surface, a mating end disposed at the mating side of the first housing for engaging a mating connector and a cable end opposite the mating end, a first plurality of conductive contact pads disposed on the upper and lower surfaces at the mating end for engaging terminals of a mating connector, and a second plurality of conductive contact pads disposed on the upper and lower surfaces at the cable end and electrically connected to the first plurality of conductive contact pads; anda pair of flat shielded cables, each shielded cable comprising a plurality of insulated conductors, each insulated conductor comprising a central conductor surrounded by a dielectric material, and first and second conductive shielding films disposed on opposite first and second sides of the shielded cable, exposed ends of the central conductors in the pair of shielded cables being terminated at the second plurality of conductive contact pads; and a second housing removably attached to the first housing and comprising an input side facing the rear side of the first housing, an exit side from which the pair of shielded cables exits the second housing, and an inclined wall, the pair of shielded cables being folded within the second housing forming a fold edge, the inclined wall maintaining the fold by contacting the pair of shielded cables substantially along the entire fold edge. |
