Abstract

A connector assembly includes a connector plug and a connector socket. The connector plug includes an outer surface having a first portion and a second portion. The first portion includes a plurality of first plug signal transmitting lines. The second portion includes a plurality of second plug signal transmitting lines. The first and second plug signal transmitting lines form a plurality of first homocentric circles. The connector socket includes an inner surface which includes a first area and a second area. The first area includes a plurality of first socket signal transmitting lines. The second area includes a plurality of second socket signal transmitting lines. The first and second socket signal transmitting lines form a plurality of second homocentric circles. The connector plug inserts in the connector socket to connect the first and second plug signal transmitting lines to the first and second socket signal transmitting lines respectively.
