A receptacle type intermediate connector 1 has an insulated body 2 with a forward end opening 3 for reception of a mating connector, and contacts 4 fixed in the body and each having at its end a finger 5 for engaging a foreign contact held in the mating connector. Each contact has at its other end a leg 6 adjoined to one electric wire in a signal transmission cable. A metallic shield composed of covers 7-9 encloses the body 2, the contact legs 6 and wires' bare ends, and has a collar portion 23 gripping a shielding layer of the cable. The connector has an insulated housing 10 and 11 covering the metallic shield disposed in the housing. The forward region of first metallic cover 7 of the shield is formed as a squarely-cylindrical portion 15. This portion protrudes ahead the end opening 3, so that the connector will meet requirements prescribed in the IEEE standards for high-frequency transmission apparatuses, and the end opening for the mating connector has an improved shielding property.
