1. A cable connector assembly comprising:
an insulative housing including a first cover and a second cover assembled to each other along a vertical direction by means of latching members, a plurality of receiving cavities formed in the housing and spaced from each other in a transverse direction perpendicular to said vertical direction, each of said cavities communicating, via a corresponding front opening, with an exterior in a front-to-back direction perpendicular to both said vertical direction and said transverse direction; a vertically standing printed circuit board; a plurality of electrical connectors mounted to the printed circuit board in a perpendicular manner and received within the corresponding cavities, respectively, to communicate with the exterior via said openings; the housing further forming a unitary elongated space uninterruptedly extending in the transverse direction and located behind the respective cavities to receive said printed circuit board therein, said housing further forming only one horizontal slot in a back face thereof; the printed circuit board and the associated connectors being configured to be assembled into the housing only along the vertical direction in a protective manner; and only one flat cable extending through said only one slot and having one end electrically connected to the printed circuit board and the other end mechanically and electrically connected to an external connector; wherein a middle one of said latching members is located on the back face and adjacent to the slot in the transverse direction; wherein said middle one of the latching members is located at a middle region of the back face, and said only one horizontal slot is off set from said middle region in the transverse direction.
