Abstract
A cable assembly with a shielded termination portion where signal conductors of a plurality of cables are directly mounted to tail portions of signal terminals of a cable connector. Shielding in the termination portion may be provided by interaction of a wave-shaped shield, tail portions of ground terminals between tail portions of the signal terminals, a cross bar connecting the ground terminals and an exposed portion of a cable shield. The wave-shaped shield may be mechanically connected to at least the tail portions of the ground terminals and may be configured to press the cable shields into the crossbar. Such a configuration improves signal transmission performance by providing a consistent shielding at the connection areas where the cables are mounted to the tail portions of the conductive terminals and at the same time eliminates the need of an intermediate circuit board and therefore reduces manufacturing costs.
