Systems and apparatuses are provided in which outlets are coupled to a power distribution unit (PDU) or PDU module in various configurations. The outlets may be coupled to a recessed surface within a PDU housing. The outlets and recessed surface may be formed as part of a single mold. The outlets may be coupled to a printed circuit board that is at least partially disposed within the PDU housing. The outlets may extend away from the recessed surface or printed circuit board towards or beyond a front face of the PDU housing.

Holding frames for modules are provided and in particular holding frames for a plug connector for receiving similar and/or different modules and fixedly securing the modules within the holding frames.

A connector cage assembly includes a housing, an intermediate member, a heat sink and a movable stop member. The housing defines upper and lower plug sockets stacked in a vertical direction. The intermediate member is arranged between the upper socket and the lower socket, and the heat sink is arranged adjacent the intermediate member. The stop member is movable within the housing between a first position in which it is positioned at a first distance from the heat sink, and a second position in which it is positioned at a second distance from the heat sink, greater than the first distance. The stop member is adapted to limit the insertion of a plug connector inserted into the lower plug socket.

A cable connector assembly includes a contact holder holding first and second contacts in contact channels terminated to ends of conductors of a cable. The contacts have mating ends forward of the front of the contact holder. The cable connector assembly includes a contact shield coupled to the contact holder having a base and a shroud. The base surrounds a base chamber that receives an end of the cable and the contact holder and provides electrical shielding at first and second interfaces. The shroud surrounds a shroud chamber that receives the mating ends of the first and second contacts to provide electrical shielding along the mating ends of the first and second contacts.

A bridge connector system includes a housing having one or more chambers, one or more connectors held in the corresponding chambers, one or more bridge connectors received in the corresponding chambers and electrically connected to the corresponding connectors, and one or more harness connectors coupled to the housing and being electrically connected to the corresponding bridge connectors. The bridge connectors electrically connect the harness connectors with the connectors.

A cable termination that enables the attachment of SMA connectors to controlled-impedance cables with a conductive foil wrap shield; for the separate ferrule embodiment, the sheath is stripped back on the cable, exposing the foil shield surrounding the dielectric; a ferrule is slid or clamped over the foil shield and bonded; the face of the ferrule is dressed so that the foil shield and dielectric are flush with the ferrule face and the signal conductor protrudes from the face this cable subassembly is installed in the boss of a housing that prevents movement of the ferrules relative to each other and so that each ferrule face is aligned with an opening in the boss through which an SMA connector barrel is attached to the ferrule a cover secures the cable subassembly in the housing.

An electrical plug-in connector for differential signal transmission, having an external conductor contact element, a dielectric and at least one internal conductor contact element pair for differential signal transmission. The dielectric extends along a longitudinal axis through the external conductor contact element. The internal conductor contact element pair has a first internal conductor contact element and a second internal conductor contact element which extend along the longitudinal axis through the dielectric. The external conductor contact element and/or the dielectric have a compensation geometry in order to compensate for an asymmetry of the internal conductor contact element pair with respect to the longitudinal axis. As an alternative or in addition, it is provided that the internal conductor contact element pair has a compensation geometry in order to compensate for an asymmetry of the external conductor contact element and/or of the dielectric with respect to the longitudinal axis.
