Abstract: A machine case includes a bottom cover and a top cover with a connection port, encloses a printed circuit board therein. An internal flat cable is equipped with a first connector at one end thereof and mounted upon a center region of the printed circuit board, and a second connector at another end thereof and disposed in the connection ports without electrically connecting to the printed circuit board. The second connector includes a plurality of contacts integrally formed within an insulator via insert-molding. A cable connector assembly includes an insulative housing having a mating port adapted to be mated with the connection port. A printed circuit board is embedded within the housing and forms mating pads on two opposite surfaces in a reversely symmetrical manner so as to have the two corresponding mating pads on two opposite surfaces in the diagonal direction share the same circuits.

Abstract: An electrical receptacle connector is mounted within a metallic cage for mating with a SFP module received within the cage. The contacts of the cable receptacle connector are arranged with two groups, of which one are connected to the printed circuit board on which the cage is mounted, and the other are connected to the wires which are further connected to a board-mount receptacle connector mounted on another printed circuit board on which the CPU (Central Processing Unit) socket is mounted. Each board-mount receptacle connector corresponds to more than one cable receptacle connector.
