1. A cable connector module comprising:
a circuit card having an upper surface and a lower surface, the circuit card including signal contact pads on the upper surface, the circuit card including signal mating pads on the lower surface, the signal mating pads configured to be mated with interposer contacts of a socket connector, the circuit card including signal vias extending directly through the circuit card between the upper and lower surface to electrically connect the signal contact pads and the corresponding signal mating pads in the shortest path possible; and
cable assemblies terminated to the upper surface of the circuit card, each cable assembly including a cable having an insulator holding a first signal conductor and a second signal conductor, the cable having a cable shield surrounding the insulator, the first and second signal conductors having exposed portions extending forward of an end of the insulator at an end of the cable, and each cable assembly including a ground structure that is configured to be mounted to the circuit card to electrically connect the cable shield to the circuit card.
