A receptacle assembly includes a receptacle cage having walls defining a cavity extending between a front and a rear and having a module channel receiving a pluggable module. The walls include a top wall, a bottom wall and first and second sidewalls extending from the top wall to the bottom wall. The cavity is open at the rear to receive a cabled receptacle connector in the module channel and the cavity is open at the front to receive the pluggable module therein. A mounting panel extends from the bottom wall and has a mounting surface below the bottom wall for supporting the bottom wall of the receptacle cage at an elevated position above the mounting surface.

Receptacle assembly having cabled receptacle connectors

An electrical device includes an organizer having a dielectric body including an upper surface and a lower surface supporting ends of cables having signal wires and having conductors on the upper surface and on the lower surface being electrically connected to corresponding signal wires. The electrical device includes an impedance control body separate and discrete from the dielectric body and coupled to the dielectric body of the organizer. The impedance control body has an upper pad on the upper surface covering the conductors and signal wire on the upper surface and a lower pad on the lower surface covering the conductors and signal wires on the lower surface. The impedance control body has a connecting tab passing through a void in the organizer between the upper pad and the lower pad.

A receptacle cage includes walls defining a cavity including a top wall and first and second side walls extending from the top wall to a bottom. The cavity is open at a rear to receive cabled receptacle connectors and open at a front to receive pluggable modules. A divider wall extends between the side walls and divides the cavity into upper and lower module channels receiving corresponding pluggable modules. The divider wall includes a front and a rear and has mounting fingers proximate to the rear for removably mounting the rear of the divider wall to the side walls.

Receptacle cage for stacked cabled receptacle connectors

A cable assembly includes a grommet, a cable, and a ferrule. The grommet has a cylindrical sleeve defining a cable channel therethrough and a flange extending radially outward from the cylindrical sleeve. The cable includes one or more insulated wires, a cable shield surrounding the one or more insulated wires, and an outer jacket surrounding the cable shield. The cable extends through the cable channel of the grommet. The cable shield and the one or more insulated wires protrude from an end of the outer jacket. The cable shield has an overlap portion extending around the end of the outer jacket and surrounding and engaging the cylindrical sleeve of the grommet to electrically connect the cable shield to the grommet. The ferrule surrounds and engages the overlap portion of the cable shield to secure the overlap portion to the cylindrical sleeve of the grommet.
