Electrical connector for balanced transmission cables with module for positioning cables

A cable connector (100) connectable to at least two balanced transmission cables (200) each of which comprises a pair of signal conductors (201) insulated from each other, and an electrical shield (203) electrically insulated from and surrounding the pair of signal conductors (201), wherein:

• the cable connector (100) comprises a first module (10) and a second module (50) which is combined with the first module (10);
• the first module (10) comprises a first insulator (20) and a ground portion (30) electrically connectable to the electrical shields (203), wherein:
• the first insulator (20) holds the ground portion (30) and is provided with separator accommodation slits (22);
• and the first insulator (20) is further provided with cable receiving portions (24) each of which is arranged between the respective neighboring separator accommodation slits (22) and is able to hold one of the balanced transmission cables (200);
• and the second module (50) comprises at least two pairs of signal contacts (80) connectable to the respective pairs of the signal conductors (201), ground contacts (70) insulated from the signal contacts (80), separators (90) physically and electrically connected to the ground contacts (70), and a second insulator (60) holding the ground contacts (70) and the signal contacts (80), wherein:
• the separators (90) project from the second insulator (60);
• and, under a combined state of the first and the second modules (10, 50), the separators (90) are fitted into the respective separator accommodation slits (22) and are electrically connected to the ground portion (30).
