6. A cable connector assembly comprising:
-
an insulative housing defining a front mating port forwardly communicating with an exterior along a front-to-back direction; a plurality of contacts disposed in the housing with contacting sections exposed in the mating port and tail sections exposed around a rear side of the housing; a cable located behind the housing in said front-to-back direction, and including a plurality of first wires and a plurality of second wires different from each other while being commonly enclosed within an outer jacket of the cable, wherein front sections of said first wires and said second wires are exposed outside of the jacket; a wire organizer located between the housing and the jacket of the cable in said front-to-back direction and forming a plurality of through holes and a plurality of positioning grooves essentially side by side arranged along a transverse direction perpendicular to said front-to-back direction;
whereinboth said through holes and said positioning grooves are forwardly exposed to an exterior in the front-to-back direction while said positioning grooves are further exposed to the exterior in a vertical direction perpendicular to both said front-to-back direction and said transverse direction;
whereinsaid through holes receive the corresponding first wires, respectively, and said positioning grooves receive the corresponding second wires, respectively. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
