A cable assembly comprising a termination with at least one conductive, compressible member and a conductive ground shield. The conductive, compressible member may be held within a connector module forming the termination such that the conductive compressive member is pressed against, and therefore makes electrical contact with, both an outer conductive layer of the cable and ground structures within the connector module. In some embodiments, these connections may be formed using a conductive, compressible member with an opening configured to receive the end of the cable therethrough. The conductive ground shield may be configured to compress the conductive, compressible member, and to cause the conductive, compressible member to electrically contact the cable's conductive layer. The conductive, compressible member may be formed from a compressible material and may comprise a plurality of conductive particulates configured to provide electrically conductive paths.

A shield connector includes an inner housing that includes a plurality of terminal accommodating rooms to respectively accommodate inner terminals of a shield electric wire which is formed by bundling up a plurality of electric wires, of which the inner terminals are attached to terminal parts, and covering an outer periphery of the electric wires with a coating material including a shielding material and an insulating material, and an outer terminal into which the inner housing is mounted. In the shielded connector, the inner housing are provided with the plurality of terminal accommodating rooms which are separated by a partition wall, and has two divided terminal accommodating parts which are connected in a combinable and dividable way by flexible hinge parts which are provided along edges of the partition wall.

A midboard cable connector assembly with a board connector and a cable connector. The board connector has terminals precisely positioned with respect to engagement features. A cable connector likewise has terminals precisely positioned with respect to complementary engagement features. When the connectors are pressed together for mating, the terminals of one or both connectors deform, generating a force that separates the connectors until the engagement features engage and block further backward motion. As the mating position is defined by the locations of the engagement features, the connectors can be designed with low over travel and a resulting short stub length, which promotes high frequency performance. High frequency performance is further promoted by a ground conductor interconnecting the beams forming mating contact portions of ground terminals, reducing the length of unconnected segments and by a cable clamp plate with complaint compression features that reduce distortion of the cables.
