Cable connector assembly with improved shell

A cable connector assembly comprising:

• an insulative housing defining first and second mating ports opposite to each other in a vertical direction, each of said mating ports communicating forwardly with an exterior in a front-to-back direction perpendicular to said vertical direction;
• two sets of contacts disposed in the housing with contacting sections exposed into the corresponding mating ports, respectively, and tail sections exposed behind the housing;
• a cable linked located behind the housing in an oblique direction oblique to both said vertical direction and said front-to-back direction and including a plurality of wires mechanically and electrically connected to the tail sections of the corresponding contacts, respectively, said cable essentially being closer to the second mating port than to the first mating port in said front-to-back direction;
• wherein
• said housing defines on a rear side a step structure essentially compliant with said oblique direction, and the tail sections of the contacts are seated upon the step structure for soldering to the corresponding wires, respectively.

A cable connector assembly comprising:

• an insulative housing defining at least a mating port forwardly communicating with an exterior along a front-to-back direction;
• a plurality of contacts disposed in the housing with front contacting sections exposed in the mating port and rear tail sections exposed outside of the housing;
• a cable located behind the housing and extending along an oblique direction oblique to said front-to-back direction, said cable including a plurality of wires mechanically and electrically connected to tail sections of the corresponding contacts, respectively;
• a metallic primary shell unitarily including a front frame like structure enclosing the housing and a rear U like structure extending along said oblique direction and enclosing a front portion of the cable;
• and
• a metallic secondary shell including another U like structure extending along the oblique direction and assembled to said rear U like structure in another oblique direction oblique to the front-to-back direction while being perpendicular to said oblique direction.
