Abstract: The first type adaptor cable assembly has an inner connector equipped with a plug board derived from the FP5 for mating with the FP5 vertical receptacle connector, and an outer connector configured to be in compliance with the FP5 or QSFP-DD receptacle connector and disposed at a rear end of the cage for mating with the FP5 or QSFP-DD inserted into the cage. Notably, the connection between the inserted FP5 and QSFP-DD and the corresponding FP5 or QSFP-DD receptacle connector directly attached/linked to the adaptor cable, is same with the traditional connection between the inserted FP5 or QSFP-DD and the corresponding receptacle connector which is only mounted to the main/external printed circuit board without directly attachment to the cable.

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.
