Abstract

A connector ( 100 ) and a communications device is disclosed. The connector includes a connector body ( 41 ) and three connecting ends disposed on the connector body. M signal interfaces ( 51 a ) inside a first connecting end ( 42 ) are in communication with M signal interfaces ( 51 b ) inside a second connecting end ( 43 ) in a one-to-one correspondence. The first connecting end is connected to a backplane connector ( 32 ) on a backplane ( 31 ). The second connecting end is connected to one end ( 45 a ) of a transmission cable ( 45 ), and the other end ( 45 b ) of the transmission cable is connected to a communications component ( 46 ) on a target board ( 33 a ). The backplane is configured to implement communication between X boards ( 33 ), and the target board is any one of X boards, where M≥1 and X≥1. A third connecting end ( 44 ) is configured to secure the connector body to the target board.
