Abstract
An electrical shielding member for a network connector includes a receiving portion for receiving a cable end of a shielded cable and a contact beam extending from the receiving portion. The contact beam has a first contact point for electrically connecting the electrical shielding member to a counter shielding member of a counter network connector, and a coupling portion, provided at a distal end of the contact beam. The coupling portion is configured to be coupled to a corresponding coupling portion of a network connector housing. The network connector is configured for network communication at data rates of at least 100 megabits per second (Mbit/s) and preferably at least 1 gigabits per second (Gbit/s).
