High density cable connector

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

• terminating at least one cable to at least one printed circuit board;
• inserting the at least one printed circuit board with the at least cable terminated thereto through a rear end of a front shell of the cable connector until an interface of the at least one printed circuit board extends from a front end of the front shell;
• and
• after inserting the at least one printed circuit board with the at least cable terminated into the front shell, coupling a rear shell of the cable connector to the front shell by inserting the rear shell into the rear end of the front shell such that the at least one cable extends through a mouth of the rear shell.

A high density cable connector, comprising:

• a front shell configured to support first and second printed circuit boards, the first and second printed circuit boards being stacked within the front shell, each of the first and second printed circuit boards having an interface at one end for interfacing with a mating connector and a cable termination at another end for terminating a cable;
• and
• a rear shell coupled to the front shell, the rear shell having opposing first and second walls and a side wall extending therebetween, the first, second, and side walls forming a mouth allowing the cable to extend therethrough,
• wherein the mouth is open at a side of the rear shell opposite the side wall of the rear shell and wherein the front shell includes an injection hole at a side wall thereof.
