I/O connector configured for cable connection to middle board

The invention relates to an I/O connector configured for cable connection to a middle board. An I/O connector assembly configured to cable at least some signals through an I/O connector to an interior of a printed circuit board. The I/O connector assembly may be assembled by mounting the cage to a printed circuit board. A receptacle connector including a cable extending from the rear of the connector may be inserted through an opening in the top or rear of the cage. The receptacle connector may be positioned in the cage by at least one retention member on the cage. A plug mating with the receptacle connector may also be positioned by a retention member on the cage. Positioning both the plug and the socket relative to the cage reduces the tolerance build-up of the assembly and enables the connector to be designed to have a shorter wiping length to achieve higher frequency operation. 本公开涉及被配置用于线缆连接到中板的I/O连接器。一种I/O连接器组件，其被配置为对通过I/O连接器的至少一些信号进行到印刷电路板的内部的线缆连接。I/O连接器组件可以通过将笼安装到印刷电路板来组装。包括从连接器后部延伸的线缆的插座连接器可以通过笼的顶部或后
