Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention may provide for high-density and high speed interconnections while maintaining reduced signal interference. In some embodiments, differential signals are organized in connectors such that differential signal pairs are orthogonal to each other. In other embodiments, differential signal tri-conductor sets may be oriented such that they are generally orthogonal to each other. The orthogonal contact organization may provide for reduced coupling between differential signals.
