Abstract
High electrical isolation connector apparatus and methods. In one embodiment, an integrated connector module (ICM) is disclosed. The ICM includes a number of adjacent electronic subassemblies that are shielded through the use of an insert body shield. The insert body shield beneficially increases electrical isolation between adjacent subassemblies thereby further mitigating possible electrical noise. The insert body shield is configured to be received within a slot formed within the connector housing. An internal shield is also included that is received in a slot of an insert body of the electronic sub-assemblies, thereby effectively shielding adjacent component receiving cavities from one another. Methods and apparatus are also disclosed which make use and take advantage of these shielded ICMs. For example, telecommunications/networking equipment that incorporates these ICMs are also disclosed.
