Abstract

A cable connector assembly for mating with a complementary connector comprises: an insulative housing defining a receiving space and a plurality of receiving slots communicated with the receiving space; a wire management received into the receiving space; a twisted-pair cable having a plurality of first and second conductive wires assembled to the wire management and located on different planes; a metallic piece assembled to the wire management and disposed between the plurality of first and second conductive wires; and a plurality of terminals received into the plurality of receiving slots and pierced into the plurality of first and second conductive wires.

Claims

1. A cable connector assembly for mating with a complementary connector comprising:

an insulative housing defining a receiving space and a plurality of receiving slots arranged in one row communicated with the receiving space;

a wire management received into the receiving space;

a cable having a plurality of first and second conductive wires arranged in a differential pair manner and assembled to the wire management and located on different planes;

a metallic piece assembled to the wire management and disposed between the plurality of first and second conductive wires; and

a plurality of terminals received into the plurality of receiving slots and pierced into the plurality of first and second conductive wires.

2. The cable connector assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein the plurality of receiving slots extend upwardly from a bottom surface of the insulative housing for a distance and extend to a front surface thereof.

3. The cable connector assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein the wire management comprises a main portion and two arms extending rearwardly from a rear end of the body portion and spaced apart with each other.

4. The cable connector assembly as claimed in claim 3, wherein each of the arm defines a slit, and the metallic defines a body portion and a pair of tabs formed at two sides of the body portion and extending out of the wire management through the two slits of the arm.

5. The cable connector assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein the base portion defines a plurality of first and second passages for respectively receiving and positioning the second and first conductive wires, each of the second passage has a depth larger than that of the first passage.

6. The cable connector assembly as claimed in claim 4, wherein the cable connector assembly further comprises a metallic shell shielded the insulative housing and connected to the twisted-pair cable, the pair of tabs of the metallic piece are attached to the metallic shell.

7. The cable connector assembly as claimed in claim 6, wherein the insulative housing further defines two silts extending inwardly from two side surfaces thereof and communicated with the receiving space, and two recesses formed on two opposite sides surfaces thereof and respectively located in front of the two slits.

8. The cable connector assembly as claimed in claim 7, wherein the two tabs of the metallic piece are located in the two recesses through two slits of the insulative housing.

9. The cable connector assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein the insulative housing has a resilient latch for engaging and disengaging with a complementary connector.

10. A cable connector assembly comprising:

a housing defining a receiving space and a plurality of receiving slots arranged in one row communicated with the receiving space;

a wire management received into the receiving space;

a twisted-pair cable having a pair of first conductive wires and three pairs of second conductive wires positioning on the wire management and located on different planes;

a metallic piece assembled to the wire management and located between one pair of first conductive wires and three pairs of second conductive wires;

a plurality of terminals received into the plurality of receiving slots and pierced into the corresponding first and second conductive wires; and

a metallic shell partially shielding the housing and connected to the twisted-pair cable, and contacting with the metallic piece.

11. The cable connector assembly as claimed in claim 10, wherein the wire management defines a base portion and two arms extending rearwardly from the base portion, the metallic piece is supported and positioned by the two arms.

12. The cable connector assembly as claimed in claim 11, wherein the metallic piece defines a pair of tabs extending out of the housing and contacting with the metallic shell.
