A shielded modular connector system includes a first portion having a first housing and a plurality of first contact modules, the first housing including a first interface surface and a first interface perimeter surrounding the first interface surface, a first plurality of bays to receive the plurality of first contact modules, and a grounding ring. The system further includes a second portion configured to mate with the first portion, and having a second housing and a plurality of second contact modules. The second housing includes a second interface surface and a second interface perimeter surrounding the second interface surface and designed to face the first interface surface, a second plurality of bays configured to receive the plurality of second contact modules, and a backshell located along at least a portion of the second interface perimeter and extending away from the second interface surface.

Highly configurable and modular high-speed connector system

A coupler for electrical connectors. The coupler includes a body having a first end and a second end opposite the first end. The coupler further includes a first connection interface positioned at the first end of the body, the first connection interface having a first set of conductive rings. The coupler further includes a second connection interface positioned at the second end of the body, the second connection interface having a second set of conductive rings electrically connected to the first set of conductive rings.
