Patent attributes
An electrical device includes a substrate having a signal contact and a ground contact along a surface of the substrate. The electrical device also includes an insulator wafer having a front surface, a rear surface, and an opening, the front surface facing the signal contact. A communication cable includes a signal conductor, an insulator surrounding the signal conductor, and a shield layer that surrounds the insulator. The insulator and the shield layer have substantially coplanar terminating ends, and a terminating end of the signal conductor extends beyond a terminating end of the insulator. The signal conductor has a terminating end that projects through the opening of the insulator wafer to electrically couple with the signal contact. The insulator wafer electrically blocks the shield layer from the signal conductor and the signal contact.
