Cable connector

Abstract

A cable connector includes at least one conductive assembly including a row of cables, multiple signal terminals, multiple ground terminals, a first grounding plate, and a second grounding plate. The row of the cables is arranged along a first direction, and each cable includes an exposed pair of conductors and an exposed shielding layer covering the pair of conductors. Two adjacent signal terminals form a pair of signal terminals for transmitting differential signals, and the signal terminals are electrically connected to the corresponding conductors. Each pair of signal terminals is disposed between two ground terminals. The first grounding plate includes a first plate portion and multiple locking heads extending from the first plate portion, the first plate portion is attached to the corresponding ground terminals. The second grounding plate includes a second plate portion with multiple locking holes. The first grounding plate and the second grounding plate are respectively attached to the shielding layers of the row of cables, and the locking heads are engaged with corresponding locking holes to clamp the shielding layer. Therefore, the uniformity of the pressing force of the first and the second plate portions on the shielding layer is improved, and the effect of shielding signal interference is enhanced.
