High-speed low profile cable assembly

摘要

A cable assembly (1) comprises an insulative housing (10) receiving a plurality of electrical terminals (12) therein and a metallic shielding (30) attached to the housing. The shielding forms an inner space for accommodating the housing and an adapter (4). The adapter has a connecting portion (41) extending out of an opening (3242) formed at a longitudinal side wall (324) of the shielding. A channel (42) is formed in the adapter such that a cable (5) can extend through the channel and into the space in the shielding to establish electrical connection with the terminals in the housing.
