在本实施方式中,第一连接端2111在电路板100上的正投影位于第一信号盘120在电路板100上的正投影中(如图10所示),第一主体部2112自第一连接端2111延伸至电路板100外,即部分第一主体部2112沿第一方向X的投影位于电路板100上,部分第一主体部2112沿第一方向X的投影位于电路板100外,第一方向X与电路板100的板面相交。在本实施方式中,第一方向X垂直于电路板100的板面,第一方向X为连接器组件10的厚度方向。在一实施方式中,第一连接端2111焊接在第一信号盘120,以使第一连接端2111与第一信号盘 120电连接。在一实施方式中,位于电路板100上的部分第一主体部2112与电路板100通过绝缘胶固定连接,以使部分第一主体部2112固定在电路板100上,防止第一主体部2112松动而导致第一连接端2111与第一信号盘120接触不良,影响第一连接端2111与第一信号盘120的电连接。
电路板100远离第一线缆210的一端与第一电子装置20电连接,在本实施方式中,电路板100远离第一线缆210的一端设有金手指,通过金手指实现连接器组件10与第一电子装置20的连接。在一实施方式中,第一线缆210远离第一连接端2111的一端还设有线缆连接器11(如图1所示),通过线缆连接器11实现第一线缆210与第二电子装置30电连接。
第一缆芯211用于传输信号,在本实施方式中,第一缆芯211包括第一子芯2113和第二子芯2114(如图5所示),第一子芯2113和第二子芯2114用于传递一个差分信号,通过差分信号实现信号传输,差分信号被表现为第一子芯2113和第二子芯2114之间的电平差,在第一缆芯211中设置两根子芯,当外界的干扰信号作用至第一缆芯211时,干扰信号同时改变第一子芯2113和第二子芯2114的电平,此时第一子芯2113和第二子芯2114之间的电平差不发生改变,使得第一缆芯211的抗串扰能力强。当第一缆芯211中设置两根子芯时,第一信号盘120也包括两个第一信号子盘(图中未示出),两根子芯分别与两个第一信号子盘连接。在一实施方式中,第一缆芯211也可仅包括一根子芯,此时,第一信号盘120包括一个第一信号子盘,通过单端信号实现信号传输,设计结构简单方便。
第一线缆210为无地线线缆,即第一线缆210中不包含地线,第一线缆210通过第一屏蔽层212接地而使第一线缆210接地,由于不包含地线,第一线缆210的尺寸小,第一线缆210与电路板100的连接更便捷,使连接器组件10的体积小、组装效率高。
第一缆芯211的周侧依次包裹第一绝缘层、第一屏蔽层212和第二绝缘层,图3和图4中仅示意出第一缆芯211和第一屏蔽层212,未示出第一绝缘层和第二绝缘层,第一绝缘层包覆在第一缆芯211的外侧,用于将第一缆芯211与第一屏蔽层212绝缘隔离;第一屏蔽层212包覆在第一绝缘层的外侧,且第一屏蔽层212位于第一绝缘层与第二绝缘层之间,将第一屏蔽层212接地,可减少串扰对第一缆芯211信号传输的影响;第二绝缘层包覆在第一屏蔽层212的外侧,用于将第一屏蔽层212与外界隔离。在本实施方式中,第一连接端2111的外侧不包覆第一绝缘层、第一屏蔽层212和第二绝缘层,以便于第一连接端2111与第一信号盘120电连接。在本实施方式中,第一主体部2112与第一屏蔽层212抵接部位仅包覆第一绝缘层和第一屏蔽层212,去除部分第二绝缘层将第一屏蔽层212裸露,以使实现第一屏蔽层212与第一屏蔽层212抵接。在一实施方式中,第一屏蔽层212为铝箔。在一实施方式中,第一屏蔽层212的材质还可以为具有较好延展性的其他导电金属。
第一屏蔽外壳310设置在第一连接端2111的周侧,并且第一屏蔽外壳310沿第三方向Z延伸至第一主体部2112的外侧,第一屏蔽外壳310与邻近电路板100的部分第一屏蔽层212抵接,第三方向Z为第一线缆210在电路板100上的延伸方向,在本实施方式中,第三方向Z与电路板100的板面平行且第三方向Z与第一方向X垂直。在本实施方式中,第三方向Z为连接器组件10的长度方向。
在一实施方式中,第一屏蔽外壳310与第一屏蔽层212沿第一方向X背离电路板100的部分表面抵接,在其他实施方式中,第一屏蔽外壳310也可与第一屏蔽层212的其他表面抵接,例如,第一屏蔽外壳310与第一屏蔽层212沿第二方向Y的两个表面抵接,第二方向Y与第一线缆210的延伸方向相交。第一屏蔽层212通过与第一屏蔽外壳310连接而与接地层110连接,从而使第一屏蔽层212接地。
在一实施方式中,第一屏蔽外壳310与电路板100为可拆卸连接,可实现第一屏蔽外壳310的快速拆装,提高第一屏蔽外壳310的重复利用率。在一实施方式中,第一屏蔽外壳310与电路板100的连接方式包含但不限于鱼眼压接,或引脚焊接。
第一屏蔽外壳310在电路板100上的正投影覆盖第一连接端2111在电路板100上的正投影,在一实施方式中,第一屏蔽外壳310的尺寸稍大于第一连接端2111的尺寸,以减小第一屏蔽外壳310占用电路板100的面积,降低成本且提高信号密度,第一屏蔽外壳310与第一连接端2111周侧的距离较近可实现更好的屏蔽效果。在一实施方式中,第一屏蔽外壳310的材质可为铁、铜、铝等金属。在一实施方式中,第一屏蔽外壳310的材质还可为合金或导电塑料、导电塑胶等导电材料。
若不设置第一屏蔽外壳310,为了保证第一线缆210接地,现有技术中第一线缆210包括第一缆芯211和地线213,如单地线线缆(如图7a所示)和双地线线缆(如图7b所示),只需使第一线缆210中的地线213接地即可,但地线213接地时需要在电路板100额外设置地线焊盘来焊接地线213,不仅占据电路板100的板面空间,还是使得第一线缆210安装效率低,且有地线213的第一线缆210尺寸大,占用电路板100的空间多,不利于增大连接器组件10的信号传输密度。对于无地线213的第一线缆210,则需要设置单独用于接地的屏蔽件,屏蔽件搭接在第一线缆210的屏蔽层上,还需要设置固定屏蔽件的固定部件,以将屏蔽件固定在第一线缆210上,这种方案会造成连接器组件10加工复杂,零部件增多的问题。当连接器组件10设置地焊盘,如果将第一屏蔽层212靠近地焊盘的表面与地焊盘粘接或焊接来接地,不对第一屏蔽层212增加额外的固定结构,在连接器组件10的使用过程中,也容易出现地焊盘与第一屏蔽层212接触不良的问题,且工艺复杂、加工效率低,后续更换第一线缆210时容易造成电路板100或第一线缆210的损坏。上述第一屏蔽层212接地的方案,均未解决第一连接端2111处信号屏蔽问题和接地问题。
而在本实施方式中,通过第一屏蔽外壳310的设置,第一方面,第一屏蔽外壳310与第一主体部2112上的第一屏蔽层212抵接,可实现第一线缆210接地,保证信号正常传输,不仅可减小外界信号对第一线缆210信号传输的干扰,还可减小第一子芯和第二子芯的***损耗,提高信号传输质量;同时,第一屏蔽外壳310与第一屏蔽层212通过面与面的方式抵接,第一屏蔽外壳310不易于损坏第一屏蔽层212,保证第一屏蔽外壳310与第一屏蔽层212的良好接触。
第二方面,第一屏蔽外壳310罩设在第一连接端2111的外侧,可屏蔽第一连接端2111处的外界干扰信号且提升信号传输稳定性,由于第一连接端2111需要与第一信号盘120电连接,第一连接端2111外部并未包覆第一屏蔽层212,第一连接端2111容易受到外界信号干扰,而第一屏蔽外壳310可将第一连接端2111与外界干扰信号隔离,减小第一连接端2111的信号传输的丢失和传输错误问题的出现,保证第一线缆210传输信号的完整性,同时,第一屏蔽外壳310还用于作为第一连接端2111的信号参考地,第一屏蔽外壳310与第一屏蔽层212连接,实现第一连接端2111信号的参考地连续,提升信号传输稳定性。
连接器组件10还包括壳体400(如图8所示),电路板100和第一线缆210位于壳体400内。当连接器组件10仅包括第一线缆210这一根线缆时,虽然连接器组件10的壳体400也具有一定的屏蔽效果,也可用于第一连接端2111的信号屏蔽,但若采用壳体400屏蔽信号且将第一线缆210接地,而不设置第一屏蔽外壳310,则需要在壳体400的内表面额外设置屏蔽弹片(图中未示出),屏蔽弹片将第一屏蔽层212压紧以实现第一屏蔽层212接地,由于壳体400一般为标准壳体,壳体400的体积大于第一屏蔽外壳310,壳体400与第一连接端2111 的距离较远,不仅对第一连接端2111处屏蔽效果差,而且屏蔽弹片与壳体400的匹配性较差,屏蔽弹片与第一屏蔽层212抵接效果差、达不到较好地连接精度,使得壳体400与第一连接端2111连接稳定性差,屏蔽弹片也容易损坏第一屏蔽层212,在壳体400上设置屏蔽弹片的方式工艺复杂、成本高,因而相较于本实施方式中的第一屏蔽外壳310,利用壳体400进行信号屏蔽的效果差,不足以实现信号的高质量传输。
第三方面,当第一屏蔽外壳310与第一屏蔽层212背离电路板100的表面抵接且第一屏蔽外壳310固定在电路板100上,第一屏蔽外壳310可将第一线缆210压向电路板100,第一线缆210被固定在第一屏蔽外壳310与电路板之间,可减小由于连接器组件10振动对第一连接端2111与第一信号盘120电连接造成的不良影响,保证第一连接端2111与第一信号盘120连接的稳固性。
第四方面,可通过控制第一屏蔽外壳310的沿第一方向X的高度,进而控制第一屏蔽外壳310与第一屏蔽层212的压紧力,以使第一屏蔽外壳310与第一屏蔽层212紧密贴合,保证第一屏蔽层212始终接地,且第一屏蔽外壳310可适配不同尺寸的第一线缆210,提高第一屏蔽外壳310的利用率。
第五方面,本实施方式中,不涉及对第一线缆210的改造,仅安装第一屏蔽外壳310即可实现第一屏蔽层212接地,达到减小串扰和降低***损耗的效果,使用第一屏蔽外壳310时加工效率高、组装简单。
请参阅图8和图9,图8为连接器组件10的结构示意图,图9为图8中连接器组件10的***图。在一实施方式中,连接器组件10还包括壳体400、解锁扣500和拉环600(如图8和图9所示),部分电路板100、部分第一线缆210和第一屏蔽外壳310位于壳体400内,第一线缆210自壳体400内沿第三方向Z延伸至壳体400外,以便于第一线缆210与第二电子装置30连接;电路板100沿第三方向Z远离第一线缆210的一端与第二电子装置30连接;通过解锁扣500和拉环600的配合使用,以实现连接器组件10与第一电子装置20的连接与断开。在一实施方式中,壳体400包括相连接的第一子壳410和第二子壳420,壳体400为可拆卸的壳体,以便于将第一线缆210、第一屏蔽外壳310和电路板100安装至壳体400内,便于连接器组件10的组装。
在一种可能的实施方式中,第一屏蔽外壳310包括依次连接的第一子部311、第二子部312和第三子部313(如图6所示),第一子部311的延伸方向和第三子部313的延伸方向均与第二子部312的延伸方向相交,且第一子部311和第三子部313远离第二子部312的一端固定在电路板100上并与接地层110连接,至少部分第二子部312与第一屏蔽层212弹性抵接,以使第一屏蔽层212与接地层110连接。其中,第一子部311的延伸方向、第二子部312的延伸方向和第三子部313的延伸方向均指的是整体板面的延伸方向,在本实施方式中,第一子部311和第三子部313均为直板形,在其他实施方式中,第一子部311和第三子部313也可为具有一定弧度的弧形板。在一实施方式中,第二子部312板面的形状可视第一屏蔽层212表面的形状而定,若第一屏蔽层212背离电路板100的表面为方形,则第二子部312与第一屏蔽层212抵接部位可设置成方形,若第一屏蔽层212背离电路板100的表面为圆弧形,则第二子部312与第一屏蔽层212抵接部位可设置成圆弧形,以保证第二子部312与第一屏蔽层212可贴合设置,保证第二子部312与第一屏蔽层212连接可靠性。
第一屏蔽外壳310大致呈“凹”字形,凹口朝向第一线缆210以罩设第一线缆210。在本实施方式中,第一子部311的延伸方向和第三子部313的延伸方向平行,且第一子部311的延伸方向和第三子部313的延伸方向与第二子部312的延伸方向垂直相交。在一实施方式 中,第一子部311的延伸方向和第三子部313的延伸方向均与第一方向X平行。在一实施方式中,第二子部312的延伸方向与电路板100的板面平行。
由于第一屏蔽外壳310为金属外壳,第一屏蔽外壳310具有一定的弹性,具体表现为第二子部312可沿第一方向X靠近或者远离电路板100运动,第二子部312抵接至第一屏蔽层212时,第二子部312沿第一方向X远离电路板100发生弹性形变,第二子部312产生一个沿第一方向X朝向电路板100方向的弹力,以使第二子部312与第一屏蔽层212紧密贴合,且当连接器组件10振动而带动第一线缆210沿第一方向X振动时,第二子部312可通过弹性形变紧贴第一屏蔽层212运动,第二子部312与第一屏蔽层212保持稳定、可靠的连接,以保证第一屏蔽层212接地,提高第一屏蔽外壳310的屏蔽效果及信号传输的质量。
在本实施方式中,第一子部311和第三子部313远离第二子部312的一端均与接地层110连接,第一屏蔽外壳310与接地层110的连接可靠性更高。在一实施方式中,第一子部311和第三子部313其中之一与接地层110连接,第一子部311和第三子部313中的另一个可直接焊接在电路板100靠近第一屏蔽外壳310的表面上或者其他方便焊接的位置上。
在一实施方式中,第一屏蔽外壳310为一体化结构,第一子部311、第二子部312和第三子部313一体成型,结构强度更高,保证第一屏蔽外壳310的正常工作。在一实施方式中,第一屏蔽外壳310一体式冲压成型,加工工序简单,成本较低。
在一种可能的实现方式中,第二子部312沿第一方向X朝向第一线缆210凹陷形成第一凹槽3121(如图6所示),第一方向X与电路板100相交,第一凹槽3121的槽底与第一屏蔽层212弹性抵接。通过第一凹槽3121的设置,增加第二子部312在第一方向X的可形变的程度,相较于将第二子部312设置成完全平整的形状,第一凹槽3121与第一屏蔽层212的连接可靠性更高,且第二子部312与第一子部311和第三子部313连接的稳固性更强,特别是在振动频繁的环境中使用连接器组件10时,第一凹槽3121的设置可保证第一屏蔽外壳310与第一屏蔽层212稳定连接,使信号高质量传输。
在一实施方式中,第一凹槽3121的延伸方向与第一屏蔽层212的延伸方向相同,即第一凹槽3121与第一屏蔽层212均沿第三方向Z延伸,增大第一凹槽3121与第一屏蔽层212的接触面积,使第一屏蔽外壳310可起到更好地屏蔽作用。在一实施方式中,第一凹槽3121的延伸方向也可与第一屏蔽层212的延伸方向不同,可根据实际需要设置第一凹槽3121的延伸方向。在本实施方式中,部分第二子部312沿第一方向X朝向第一线缆210凹陷形成第一凹槽3121,部分第二子部312未朝向第一线缆210凹陷且仍保持与电路板100平行,以便于第一屏蔽外壳310与电路板100的安装连接。
在一种可能的实现方式中,第一凹槽3121上设有贯穿槽底的第一开孔3122(如图6所示)。第一开孔3122可增加第一凹槽3121的弹性,以减小第一屏蔽外壳310组装时产生翘曲的可能性,保证第一凹槽3121的槽底与第一屏蔽层212的良好接触。
在一种可能的实现方式中,至少部分第一开孔3122与第一屏蔽层212在电路板100上的正投影不重叠。至少部分第一开孔3122位于第一凹槽3121未与第一屏蔽层212接触的部位,在增加第一凹槽3121的弹性的同时,尽量增大第一凹槽3121与第一屏蔽层212的接触面积,使第一屏蔽外壳310可起到更好地屏蔽作用。
在一实施方式中,第一开孔3122与第一屏蔽层212在电路板100上的正投影不重叠(如图10所示),第一开孔3122位于第一凹槽3121未与第一屏蔽层212接触的部位,在增加第一凹槽3121的弹性的同时,并未减小第一凹槽3121与第一屏蔽层212的接触面积,使第一屏蔽外壳310可起到更好地屏蔽作用。
在一实施方式中,第一开孔3122与第一连接端2111在电路板100上的正投影至少部分重叠,连接器组件10在组装时,先将第一屏蔽外壳310固定在电路板100上,而后通过第一开孔3122将第一连接端2111焊接在第一信号盘120上,或者通过第一开孔3122以点胶的方式将第一连接端2111粘接在第一信号盘120上,第一屏蔽外壳310可为第一线缆210的安装起到定位作用。在一实施方式中,第一开孔3122与第一连接端2111在电路板100上的正投影至少部分重叠,当连接器组件10在长久使用过程中,若第一连接端2111与第一信号盘120的连接出现松动,还可以通过第一开孔3122紧固第一连接端2111与第一信号盘120的连接。
在一种可能的实现方式中,第一子部311和第三子部313远离第二子部312的一端设有引脚301(如图6所示),电路板100上设有地通孔101(如图4所示),地通孔101连接接地层110,引脚301伸入地通孔101内以使第一屏蔽外壳310与接地层110连接。其中,地通孔101设置在第一线缆210的周侧,且地通孔101贯穿电路板100沿第一方向X靠近第一屏蔽外壳310的表面,通过引脚301与地通孔101连接以实现第一屏蔽外壳310与电路板100固定连接。
在一实施方式中,地通孔101贯穿电路板100沿第一方向X的两个表面,使引脚301与地通孔101的连接更加简单、更加可靠。在一实施方式中,电路板100上设有四个地通孔101,第一子部311远离第二子部312的一端设有两个引脚301,第三子部313远离第二子部312的一端同样设有两个引脚301,四个引脚301分别伸入四个地通孔101内,以实现第一屏蔽外壳310与电路板100的稳定连接。
在一种可能的实现方式中,电路板100靠近第一线缆210的表面设有地焊盘111(如图4所示),地焊盘111与靠近电路板100一侧的部分第一屏蔽层212抵接。地焊盘111和第一屏蔽外壳310的设置,使第一线缆210沿第一方向X的两个表面均接地,且第一屏蔽外壳310与第一屏蔽层212抵接可将第一屏蔽层212与地焊盘111压紧,可以更好地起到屏蔽效果,以降低外界环境对第一线缆210信号传输的影响。
在一实施方式中,地焊盘111与接地层110电连接,第一线缆210沿第一方向X的两个表面均与接地层110电连接。在一实施方式中,地焊盘111为设置在电路板100表面局部位置的一块金属片,第一屏蔽层212靠近电路板100表面与金属片抵接以达到屏蔽效果。在一实施方式中,部分第一屏蔽层212靠近地焊盘111的表面与地焊盘111焊接,以保护固定第一线缆210。在一实施方式中,部分第一屏蔽层212靠近地焊盘111的表面与地焊盘111粘接,如通过紫外光固化胶(UV胶)将第一屏蔽层212粘接在地焊盘111上,以保护固定第一线缆210。
请参阅图11和图12,图11为本申请第二实施例提供的连接器组件10的立体图,图12为图11的***图,本申请第二实施例提供一种连接器组件10,与第一实施例不同的是,电路板100的表面还设有第二信号盘130,连接器组件10还包括第二线缆220和第二屏蔽外壳320,第二线缆220包括第二缆芯221和第二屏蔽层222,第二缆芯221包括第二主体部2212和位于第二主体部2212一端的第二连接端2211,第二屏蔽层222包覆在第二主体部2212的外侧,第二连接端2211与第二信号盘130连接;第二屏蔽外壳320固定在电路板100上并与接地层110连接,第二连接端2211和第二信号盘130位于第二屏蔽外壳320和电路板100之间,且第二屏蔽外壳320与第二屏蔽层222背离电路板100的表面抵接,以使第二屏蔽层222与接地层110连接;第二屏蔽外壳320与第一屏蔽外壳310位于电路板100的同一侧,第二屏蔽外壳320与第一屏蔽外壳310沿第二方向Y间隔设置,第二方向Y与第一线缆210的延伸方向相交。
其中,第二线缆220的设置,增加了连接器组件10传输信号的密度。第二信号盘130及第二线缆220均位于电路板100靠近第一线缆210的表面,第二屏蔽外壳320在电路板100上的正投影与第一屏蔽外壳310在电路板100上的正投影不重叠。第二方向Y与第一方向X、第三方向Z均相交,在本实施方式中,第二方向Y、第一方向X和第三方向Z互相垂直,第二方向Y为连接器组件10的宽度方向,第一方向X为连接器组件10的厚度方向,第三方向Z为连接器组件10的长度方向。
在本实施例中,第二线缆220与第一线缆210相同,第二屏蔽外壳320与第一屏蔽外壳310具有相同的构造和体积。
在一实施方式中,第二线缆220的外径与第一线缆210的外径相同。在一实施方式中,第二线缆220的外径与第一线缆210的外径也可以不同。在一实施方式中,第二屏蔽外壳320与第一屏蔽外壳310的材质、体积也可不同。在一实施方式中,第一线缆210为输入信号线缆,第二线缆220为输出信号线缆。在一实施方式中,第二线缆220为输入信号线缆,第一线缆210为输出信号线缆。在一实施方式中,第一线缆210和第二线缆220均为输入信号线缆。在一实施方式中,第一线缆210和第二线缆220均为输出信号线缆。
若不设置第一屏蔽外壳310和第二屏蔽外壳320,第一线缆210和第二线缆220传输信号时,第一线缆210和第二线缆220之间互相耦合,对第一线缆210和第二线缆220信号的传输造成不利的影响,特别是当第一线缆210和第二线缆220之间间隔较小时,两根线缆间的串扰会更加严重,其中,第一线缆210靠近第一连接端2111的一端对第二线缆220靠近第二连接端2211的一端的串扰称为近端串扰,第一线缆210远离第一连接端2111的一端对第二线缆220靠近第二连接端2211的一端的串扰称为远端串扰,同样地,第二线缆220靠近第二连接端2211的一端对第一线缆210靠近第一连接端2111的一端的串扰称为近端串扰,第二线缆220远离第二连接端2211的一端对第一线缆210靠近第一连接端2111的一端的串扰称为远端串扰。
而在本实施方式中,第一屏蔽外壳310的设置可减小第二线缆220对第一线缆210传输信号的干扰,第二屏蔽外壳320的设置可减小第一线缆210对第二线缆220传输信号的干扰,在增加连接器组件10传输信号密度的同时,提高了信号在连接器组件10内传输的质量。
请参阅图13a和图13b,图13a为本申请第二实施例中远端串扰优化效果图,图13b为本申请第二实施例中近端串扰优化效果图,为了说明采用本实施例对近端串扰及远端串扰优化的效果,以图11所示的实施方式与图7a中单地线线缆接地和图7b中双地线线缆接地的实施方式作比较,图13a和图13b中,横坐标表示频率,纵坐标表示串扰幅值,图13a中,PSFEXT_diff2_outCD_Q112Imported代表图11中实施方式的远端串扰测试数据,PSFEXT_diff2_outCD_Dgnd Imported代表图7b中双地线线缆接地的实施方式的远端串扰测试数据,PSFEXT_diff2_outCD_Q56_Sgnd Imported代表图7a中单地线线缆接地的实施方式的远端串扰测试数据;图13b中,PSNEXT_diff2_outCD_Q112Setup1:Sweep代表图11中实施方式的近端串扰测试数据,PSNEXT_diff2_outCD_Dgnd Imported代表图7b中双地线线缆接地的实施方式的近端串扰测试数据,PSNEXT_diff2_outCD_Sgnd Imported代表图7a中单地线线缆接地的实施方式的近端串扰测试数据。
在112Gbps PAM4格式的信号传输速率下,信号基频为112/4=28GHz,所以选择在28GHz的串扰幅值作为优化比较的频点,由图13a和图13b可知,图11的实施方式相比于图7b中双地线线缆接地的实施方式,近端串扰和远端串扰均优化25dB,串扰幅度优化约25%。图11的实施方式相比于图7a中单地线线缆接地的实施方式,近端串扰优化33dB,远端串扰优 化35dB,整体串扰幅值提升约58%。由此可知,在本实施方式中,采用无地线线缆结合屏蔽外壳的方式,提高了对串扰的屏蔽效果,特别是提高了在第一连接端2111和第二连接端2211处的串扰屏蔽效果,使信号传输的质量更高。
