Abstract
A cable-circuit board assembly is disclosed for use in providing a high speed transmission line for connecting electronic devices together. The circuit board is joined to a ground extension member that extends rearwardly of the circuit board and between sets of wires that are terminated to respective surfaces of the circuit board. The extension portion places a ground plane in the termination area of the connector, rear of the trailing edge of the circuit board to provide shielding between pairs of wires on opposite sides of the paddle card where the cable shields are cut back.
