A cable connector assembly comprising:
- an insulative housing defining a mating port;
- two rows of contacts disposed in the housing and side by side arranged with one another along a transverse direction, each of said contacts defining, in a front-to-back direction perpendicular to said transverse direction, a front contacting section exposed to the mating space and a rear tail section exposed outside of the housing, said contacts including signal contacts and grounding contacts somewhat alternately arranged in said transverse direction;
- a connecting piece connecting the selective grounding contacts around the corresponding tail sections;
- and
- a grounding/shielding plate extending in the transverse direction and interposing said two rows of contacts, in a vertical direction perpendicular to both said transverse direction and said front-to-back direction, around the tail sections;
- wherein
- said grounding/shielding plate and said connecting piece are directly mechanically and electrically connected to each other around the tail sections.
