Abstract
An interconnection device for interconnecting a number of first terminals to a number of second terminals. The interconnection device includes a conductive housing and a number of contacts that are insulated from the conductive housing. This configuration may provide shielding to the number of contacts from outside sources of electro-magnetic interference. Further, a number of conductive ribs may be provided between adjacent contacts, thereby shielding the contacts from cross-talk interference between adjacent contacts. Finally, the impedance of each contact in the interconnection device may be controlled to provide a stable bandpass, and may be programmable to match, or correct for, the input impedance of a corresponding device.
