Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A cable bypass assembly is disclosed for use in providing a high speed transmission line for connecting a chip, processor or circuitry mounted on a circuit board to other similar components. The bypass cable assembly has a structure that maintains the geometry of the cable in place from the chip to the connector and then through the connector. The connector includes a plurality of conductive terminals and shield members arranged within an insulative support frame in a manner that approximates the structure of the cable so that the impedance and other electrical characteristics of the cable may be maintained as best is possible through the cable termination and the connector.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A bypass cable assembly, comprising: a chip package supported on a circuit board; a cable including an insulative body portion with pairs of associated signal conductors extending lengthwise through the insulative body portion, the signal conductors of each pair being separated by a first spacing, and a ground member associated with each pair of signal conductors, the ground member and signal conductors having opposing first and second free ends, and first…
