Abstract
The apparatus and method includes a backplane (14) and a plurality of cable connectors (16) arranged orderly on the backplane (14) to which the cables (12) are connected. A plurality of conductive groomer fingers (30) extend generally perpendicularly from the backplane (14) along at least one edge of the backplane (14), where slots of a predetermined width are defined therebetween. Each cable (12) has an EMI termination zone (32) packed in the groomer finger slots to achieve good electrical contact with the groomer fingers (30). A rear cover (34) is used to substantially enclose the backplane (14).
