Abstract
A connector having a core with a flexible circuit supported therearound, the flexible circuit having an array of signal conduction tracings on the first, exterior, surface thereof, the connector being characterized in that the second, interior, surface of the flexible circuit has an impedance control arrangement comprising at least one ground tracing connectable to ground potential and arranged with respect to the signal conduction tracings such that the impedance of the signal conduction tracings matches the impedance of conduction paths to be interconnected.
