ABSTRACT:
A cable connector assembly for connecting two cables, with each cable including multiple electrical conductors. The cable connector assembly may include a first enclosure having an outer surface and defining a pivot point, a plurality of externally accessible electrical connectors disposed at the outer surface of the first enclosure and configured to be coupled to the electrical conductors in one of the cables, a second enclosure configured to couple with the first enclosure about the pivot point in a mating configuration, and a plurality of electrical contacts disposed in the second enclosure. The contacts may be configured to releaseably receive one of the electrical connectors. The electrical connectors are configured in an outer array and an inner array on the circuit board. The outer array is coupled to a cable shield. The inner array is coupled to one of a data conductor and an electric power conductor.
