Cable assembly having enhanced interconnection device thereof

A cable assembly, comprising:

• an insulative housing having a base portion and a tongue portion extending forwardly from the base portion;
• a plurality of contacts supported by the insulative housing;
• a metal shell having a tube-shaped mating frame enclosing the tongue portion therein;
• a cable including a number of wire members for connecting to the contact members, a plurality of strength members and an insulative jacket enclosing the wire members and the strength members, and partial of front segment of the jacket removed away to have corresponding wire members and strength members exposed outside;
• and
• a connection member including a first engaging portion connected to a second engaging portion, said strength members gripped by the first engaging portion, and said the second engaging portion fastened to the base portion of the insulative housing.

A cable connector assembly comprising:

• an insulative housing defining a plurality of first passageways extending along a front-to-back direction and exposed on a top side of the housing;
• a metallic shell covering said housing;
• a plurality of first contacts disposed in the corresponding first passageways, respectively, each of said first contacts defining a first front contacting section exposed upon the top side in an upward direction, and a first rear soldering section exposed in a downward direction;
• an insulator positioned upon a rear region of the top side of the housing and defining a plurality of second contacts, each of said second contacts defining a second front contacting section exposed upon the top side of the housing in said upward direction and located behind the first contacting section, and a second rear soldering section exposed in said upward direction;
• and
• a cable including a plurality of first wires respectively soldered to the corresponding first rear soldering sections, and a plurality of second wires respectively soldered to the corresponding second rear soldering sections;
• wherein
• said cable further includes a plurality of dielectric strength members which are grouped as a bundle independently grasped by a metallic connection member which is engaged with the shell;
• wherein
• the first contacting section is stiff while the second contacting section is resilient.
