Cable connector assembly and assembling method of the same

A method of assembling a cable connector assembly, comprising the steps of:

• providing a metallic shell;
• providing a cable including a plurality of core wires, an inner shield layer covering the core wires, a metal braided layer covering outside the inner shield layer, and an outer cover layer covering outside the metal braided layer, the metallic shell being sleeved on the outside of the outer cover layer of the cable, and removing a section of the outer cover layer to expose a section of the metal braid layer, the exposed section of the metal braid layer being turned over to the outside of the outer cover layer to form a valgus portion;
• providing an insulative housing with a plurality of conductive terminals and electrically connecting the core wires with corresponding conductive terminals;
• providing a metallic casing;
• and
• providing a middle shell sleeved on the metallic casing in a back-to-front direction, and then mounting the metallic casing and the middle shell together on the insulative housing along the front-to-back direction, the middle shell being disposed between the metallic casing and the metallic shell;
• characterized by
• providing a metal inner ring sleeved between the metal braid layer and the outer cover layer, the metal inner ring being electrically connected to the metallic shell through the valgus portion.

An electrical connector assembly comprising:

• an insulative housing with a mating port in forward communication with an exterior;
• a plurality of terminals disposed in the housing;
• a round cable including a plurality of core wires, a metal braided layer and an insulative outer cover layer with exposed front portions of said core wires respectively connected to the corresponding terminals, and with a metal inner ring located coaxially behind the exposed front portions of said core wires and between the metal braided layer and the insulative outer cover;
• and
• a metallic shell subassembly enclosing both the housing and a front segment of the cable with a shrunk tail portion abutting against a backward folded portion of the metal braided layer;
• wherein
• a cross-sectional arrangement, taken along a plane at the metal inner ring perpendicular to an axial direction of the cable, includes said plurality of core wires, the metal braided layer, the metal inner ring, the insulative outer cover, the backward folded portion of the metal braided layer and the shrunk tail portion concentrically from an inner side to an outer side.
