Abstract
A transceiver module, such as a copper transceiver module, that utilizes an example connector structure for receiving the plug of a communication cable. The example connector structure is configured to house a plurality of electronic components in such a way as to efficiently utilize the space within the connector structure itself. In one example embodiment, a connector structure for use in a copper transceiver module includes a body, a first plurality of conductive elements attached to the body, and first and second cavities defined in the body. The first plurality of conductive elements is configured to electrically connect with a corresponding second plurality of electrical elements on a plug of a communications cable. A first plurality of electrical cores and a printed circuit board are positioned in the first cavity. A second plurality of electrical cores is positioned in the second cavity.
