Abstract
An electrical connector having a laminate structure and multiple parallel grooves is described. The laminate structure is electrically conductive and is coated with an electrically non-conductive material. Each groove has a signal carrying path electrically insulated from the electrically conductive portion of the laminate structure, which is advantageously surrounded by the laminate structure, thereby forming a type of Faraday cage around the signal carrying path and creating a completely shielded electrical path.
