Abstract
This disclosure generally pertains to connectors having a signal contact assembly containing a plurality of rod-shaped signal contact members, generally cylindrical dielectric material encasing the sides of the signal contact members and a generally cylindrical conductive shield in contact with the dielectric material. The signal contact assembly along with rod-shaped power contact members are placed in the connector. This combination can be considered to be in the nature of a connector within a connector. The connector can transmit data at 100 Mbps or greater along with power while minimizing the space required for the contacts. The connectors may be generally circular in cross-section.
