US Patent 7922520 Cable connector including intermediary interconnection board

A cable connector includes a contact assembly including an electrically insulating block body and multiple signal contacts incorporated therein; an intermediary interconnection board having multiple contact connection pads, multiple groups of wire connection pads, and multiple interconnects on its surface, the interconnects connecting the contact connection pads to the corresponding wire connection pads, the contact connection pads being electrically connected to the corresponding signal contacts of the contact assembly; and a cable having multiple wires electrically connected to the corresponding wire connection pads. Adjacent groups of the wire connection pads are offset in a direction in which the interconnects extend in a manner to reduce crosstalk.
