An electrical connector includes a housing and a plurality of contact modules in the housing. Each contact module includes a mating edge and a mounting edge. Each mating and mounting edge has a row of contacts including signal and ground contacts arranged in one of a first and second pattern. Adjacent contact modules in the housing have a different one of the first and second patterns. The first and second patterns each include pairs of signal contacts and individual ground contacts arranged in an alternating sequence. Each mating edge contact is electrically connected to a corresponding mounting edge contact by signal conductors and ground conductors extending along a predetermined path within the contact module. Each ground conductor has a width transverse to the predetermined path that is substantially equal to a combined transverse width across a pair of signal conductors in an adjacent contact module. The ground conductor shields the pair of signal conductors in the adjacent contact module.
