ABSTRACT:
A data transmission interconnect assembly capable of transmission speeds in excess of 40 Gbps in which, for example, a line-card is detachably coupled to a backplane using flexible flat cables that are bent to provide a continuous, smooth curve between the connected boards, and connected by a connection apparatus that employs cable-to-cable interface members that are transparent to the transmitted signal waves. Microspring interface members are formed on the contact structure pressed against the cables to provide interface arrangements that are smaller than a wavelength of the transmitted signal. A connector apparatus uses a cam mechanism to align the cables, and then to press the contact structure, having the microspring interface members formed thereon, against the cables. An alterative contact structure uses anisotropic conductive film.
