Abstract
A communication system includes a circuit board having circuit board signal and ground contacts on the upper surface. The communication system includes a cable assembly having a housing holding a cable module with cables. A ground shield and signal contacts are electrically connected to the cables. The ground shield includes ground beams with ground mating interfaces coupled to corresponding circuit board ground contacts. Each signal contact has a terminating pad terminated to the cable conductor and a signal beam with a signal mating interface coupled to the circuit board signal contact. The housing includes contact channels receiving the signal and ground beams with the mating interfaces exposed for interfacing with the circuit board.
