Abstract

An equalization card is provided for a cable assembly carrying high speed data signals. The cable assembly includes a cable with conductors, a plug mounted on the cable and a socket receiving the plug. An equalization card is removeably received within the plug. The equalization card conveys data signals over data paths between the plug and receptacle. The circuit board attenuates frequency components below at least one half of the fundamental frequency of the data rate, without introducing equalization attenuation into frequency components below a second harmonic of the fundamental frequency. The circuit components maintains a substantially constant attenuation level for frequency components of the data signal below a predefined frequency cutoff that is less than the second harmonic of the fundamental frequency of the data rate.
