A molded insulated connector for a Quadrax cable. The connector includes an outer tube and four inner tubes housed within the outer tube. Each inner tube defines a hole configured to receive a medium for transmitting signals. Outer beams connect and space apart the inner tubes and the outer tubes. Inner beams connect and space apart the inner tubes. The outer tube, inner tubes, outer beams, and inner beams define hollow passageways which extend through the outer tube.

Molded insulator

An electrical connector and method of forming the same are provided, where the electrical connector includes a printed circuit board configured to exhibit a first length L, a first width W, a thickness T, and a slot of a slot-width approximately equal to T, the slot also exhibiting a slot-length at least approximately equal to one-half of L. The printed circuit board includes at least a first signal trace, a second signal trace, and a ground plane, where the printed circuit board is configured to electrically isolate the first signal trace and the second signal trace from the ground plane. The first signal trace is configured to make electrical contact with at least a first electrically conductive cable. The electrical connector also includes at least a first contact pin affixed to the printed circuit board and coupled to the second signal trace.
