A connector assembly includes an insulative housing having a base portion extending along a longitudinal direction, and a first body and a second body located at opposite sides of the base portion and protruding beyond the base portion along a mating direction thereby defining a first mating cavity therebetween. An optical device is retained on the base portion, with a pair of lens projecting into the first mating cavity. A first terminal group is retained in the base portion with contacting portions located above the lenses in a vertical direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction and mating direction. A second terminal group is respectively retained in the first and second bodies and arranged as a symmetrical manner with respect to the base portion.
