Electrical connector assembly

摘要

An electrical connector assembly (100) is provided with a shielding cage member (102) having an upper port (110) and a lower port (112) configured to receive pluggable modules therein. The cage member (102) has a front mating face that has openings to receive the pluggable modules. The cage member (102) has side walls (118, 120) along the sides of the upper and lower ports (110, 112) and a separator member (122) extending between the side walls (118, 120) between the upper and lower ports (110, 112). The separator member (122) has an upper plate and a lower plate (128) with a channel therebetween. An RF absorber is positioned within the channel that reduces an amount of EMI emitted from the channel.
