Cable connector and endoscope apparatus

A cable connector for an endoscope apparatus including a flexible elongated tube for extending in an axial direction, a circuit device incorporated in said elongated tube, a cable structure, having plural electric lines, contained in said elongated tube, connected with said circuit device, wherein said cable connector is mounted on said cable structure, and couplable with an external socket connector for externally transmitting a signal from said circuit device, said cable connector comprising:

• a circuit board, having a width in a manner passable through said elongated tube, disposed to extend in said axial direction;
• a terminal group of plural terminals, formed on said circuit board, for electrically contacting said socket connector;
• first and second land patterns, positioned apart from one another in said axial direction, so disposed that said terminal group is positioned therebetween at least partially, for electrical conduction to said electric lines;
• a wiring pattern, formed on said circuit board, for electrically coupling said first land pattern to said terminal group and electrically coupling said second land pattern to said terminal group.
