1. An electrical connector comprising:
a housing defining an interior cavity and extending from a mounting end to an engagement end;
a first signal component disposed within the interior cavity and defining plural first channels that extend from the mounting end to the engagement end of the housing;
a second signal component defining plural second channels that extend from the mounting end to the engagement end of the housing, the second signal component engaging the first signal component disposed within the interior cavity;
a first shell section defining plural first shell channels and formed from a conductive composite material forming a first section of an outer wall of the housing to shield the interior cavity, wherein each of the plural first shell channels aligns with a corresponding first channel of the plural first channels to form an electrical connection between the engagement end and the mounting end; and
a second shell section defining plural first shell channels and formed from a conductive composite material forming a second section of the outer wall of the housing to shield the interior cavity, wherein each of the plurality of second shell channels aligns with a corresponding second channel of the plurality of second channels to form the electrical connection between the engagement end and the mounting end.
