Abstract

A connector for connecting a first printed circuit board with a second printed circuit board that comprises a first column of differential signal pair launches offset from a second column of differential signal pair launches on the first printed circuit board so that each differential signal pair in the first column is closest to a launch of a first polarity in a corresponding differential signal pair in the second column on the first circuit board, a first column of differential signal pair launches offset from a second column of differential signal pair launches on the second printed circuit board so that each differential signal pair in the first column is closest to a launch of a second polarity, opposite the first polarity, in a corresponding signal pair in the second column on the second circuit board, and a connector electrically connecting the first column of differential signal pair launches on the first printed circuit board to the first column of differential signal pair launches on the second printed circuit board and electrically connecting the second column of differential signal pair launches on the first printed circuit board to the second column of differential sig…
