Cable connector assembly having additional pull tab

A cable connector assembly comprising:

• a cover device;
• a connector module disposed in the cover and including an insulative housing with a plurality of contacts therein;
• front portions of the contacts defining a mating port around a mating side of the cover device;
• a cable electrically connected to rear portions of the contacts;
• a pair of latches disposed on two lateral sides of the cover device;
• a pull tab assembled to the cover device and moveable relative to the cover device along a front-to-back direction, said pull tab including an operation portion around another side of the cover device and a pair of engaging portions respectively engaged with the corresponding latches so as to allow the latches to be laterally moved to be in an unlatched position when said pull tab is moved in said front-to-back direction;
• and
• an actuator mounted to at least one of said pull tab or the cover device and including an actuation portion which is moveable to be in a first position to be engaged with the operation portion of the pull tab to actuate said pull tab to move in said front-to-back direction for moving said latches correspondingly.

• a cable electrically connected to rear portions of the contacts;
• a pair of latches disposed on two lateral sides of the cover device;
• a delatching tab assembled to the cover device and moveable relative to the cover device along a first direction, said delatching tab including an operation portion around another side of the cover device and a pair of engaging portions respectively engaged with the corresponding latches so as to allow the latches to be moved in a second direction, which is different from said first direction, to be in an unlatched position when said delatching tab is moved in said first direction;
• and
• an actuator mounted to at least one of said delatching tab or the cover device and moved with an initial distance from a first position to a second position before substantially actuating said delatching tab to move along said first direction for delatching said latches correspondingly.
