Abstract
A cable connector assembly (1) comprises a shell (2, 3) having a mating frame (32), a first tongue portion (42a) having a number of first contacts (422a) therein, and a second tongue portion (42b) having a number of second contacts (422b) therein. The first tongue portion and the second tongue portion are disposed in the mating frame in a side-by-side manner, thereby corporately forming a unitary mating port enabling transmitting data at a high speed. As there no new equipments or innovated procedure is needed, the cost of the cable connector assembly is sharply cut down both in inventory and manufacturing.
Claims17
