Zusammenfassung:In one embodiment, a pluggable module is provided. The pluggable module includes a pluggable body having a top wall, a bottom wall, a first side wall and a second side wall. The pluggable body has a cavity. The pluggable body extends between a mating end and a cable end. An upper module circuit card is received in the cavity. The upper module circuit card has a mating edge at a mating end configured to be loaded into an upper card slot of a card edge connector and a cable end opposite the mating end. The upper module circuit card includes first upper contact pads on an upper surface of the upper module circuit card at the mating end. The upper module circuit card includes second upper contact pads on a lower surface of the upper module circuit card at the mating end. The upper module circuit card includes first upper cable termination areas on the upper surface of the upper module circuit card at the cable end. The upper module circuit card includes second upper cable termination areas on the lower surface of the upper module circuit card at the cable end. The first upper cable termination areas include first upper cable pads electrically connected to corresponding first upper contact pads. The second upper cable termination areas include second upper cable pads electrically connected to corresponding second upper contact pads. A lower module circuit card is received in the cavity. The lower module circuit card has a mating edge at a mating end configured to be loaded into a lower card slot of a card edge connector and a cable end opposite the mating end. The lower module circuit card includes first lower contact pads on an upper surface of the lower module circuit card at the mating end. The lower module circuit card includes second lower contact pads on a lower surface of the lower module circuit card at the mating end. The lower module circuit card includes first lower cable termination areas on the upper surface of the lower module circuit card at the cable end. The lower module circuit card includes second lower cable termination areas on the lower surface of the lower module circuit card at the cable end. The first lower cable termination areas includes first lower cable pads electrically connected to corresponding first lower contact pads. The second lower cable termination areas includes second lower cable pads electrically connected to corresponding second lower contact pads. Upper cables have upper cable conductors terminated to corresponding fir
