US Patent 9293865 High digital bandwidth connection apparatus

A multiple connector socket is able to interface to a low bandwidth connector and a high bandwidth connector. The low bandwidth connector facilitates a low bandwidth interface, such as USB 2.0, using a miniaturized connector having low bandwidth blade contacts, such as a micro USB 2.0 connector. The high bandwidth connector interposes high bandwidth blade contacts between the low bandwidth blade contacts for facilitating a high bandwidth interface, such as components of a DisplayPort interface. The high bandwidth blade contacts incorporate apertures to reduce electromagnetic coupling with the low bandwidth blade contacts. In one implementation, apertures are not required on the low bandwidth blade contacts.
