The connectors with well controlled impedance tend to be large by design, but it is possible to characterize and run smaller connectors at the speeds you are looking at. Characterizing and controlling isolation (xtalk) is as important as simple impedance control. At 2.5Gbps you can also start benefiting from carefull design of the launch into the connector you choose as this often causes more signal degradation than the connector itself.
