Abstract

A cable connector assembly has a connector and a cable with a number of coaxial wires and a number of unshielded wires. The connector includes an insulative housing with a front tongue and a rear end, a number of contacts with mating portions exposed on the front tongue and connecting portions exposed on the rear end, and a spacer assembled to the rear end. The spacer forms a plurality of positioning holes extending therethrough along a front-to-back direction, and a passageway extending therethrough along a vertical direction perpendicular to the front-to-back direction. The coaxial wires are inserted through the corresponding positioning holes and across the passageway to reach the corresponding contacts along the front-to-back direction so as to cut the coaxial wires in the passageway along the vertical direction.
