Abstract: A cable connector is designed to suppress at least a portion of energy that radiates from the signal contacts within the connector itself, and also reduces the effects of electrical interference from either other pairs in nearby connectors or other electrical sources. This is accomplished by grounding the connector's two outermost electrical contacts, thereby providing a path to ground between the signal contacts within the connector itself and any outside elements, including other signal pairs within other nearby connectors. To further improve signal integrity, the spacing between the connector's contacts can be selected such that the impedance of the connector substantially matches that of the cable terminated by the connector, thereby reducing return loss.
