Abstract
A cable connector compatible to USB 3.0 standard includes an insulative housing having, a number of contacts and an inner circuit board for establishing electrically connection between the contacts and cables. The contacts are divided into a first contact group including a number of first contacts and a second contact group including a number of second contacts. The inner circuit board includes a first soldering area having a number of separated first pads connected to the first and the second contacts. The first pads include a first grounding pad connected to a grounding contact of the second contacts. The second soldering area includes a number of separated second pads connected to the cables. At least two adjacent or separated second pads are electrically connected to the first grounding pad for improving high frequency characteristics.
