Cassette for a cable interconnect system

摘要

A cassette (20) includes a housing (30) having a front (34) and a rear (36). The housing (30) has a plurality of plug cavities (42) open at the front (34) for receiving plugs therein, and the housing (30) has a rear chamber (102) open to the plug cavities. The cassette also includes a contact subassembly (100) having a circuit board (104) and a plurality of contacts (144) arranged in contact sets (146) coupled to the circuit board (104). Each contact set (146) is configured to mate with a corresponding plug, where the contact subassembly (100) is loaded into the rear chamber (102) such that the contact sets are received in different corresponding plug cavities (42). The circuit board (104) is oriented generally parallel to the front of the housing (30) when the contact subassembly (100) is loaded into the rear chamber (102).
