Abstract
A cable connector assembly (100) includes a printed circuit board (2) having a number of signal and ground pads (25, 26) alternatively arranged at opposite front and rear ends thereof, a wire organizer (3) defining a number of through holes (30), a unitary grounding member (6) assembled to the wire organizer and including a number of grounding plates (62) integrally formed therewith to electrically connect with the ground pads of the printed circuit board, and a number of wires (4) protruding through the through holes of the wire organizer. Each wire includes at least one signal conductor (40) soldered with the signal pad of the printed circuit board, an insulator (41) enclosing the at least one signal conductor and a ground conductor (43) electrically connecting with the grounding member to form ground path with the printed circuit board.
