A shielded electrical connector is provided with features that enable miniaturization. The connector includes a shield having a ground spring for deflectably engaging a mated plug that is matably inserted with the connector. The ground spring has at least one elbow so that the ground spring has a longer effective length. For example, the ground spring may extend over more than one panel of the shield or have at least one generally angular or L-shaped segments. Also, a connector cable assembly is provided having a first plug connector and a second plug connector mounted at opposite ends of a cable. To ensure that a user can insert the respective plug connectors only into the respectively corresponding receptacle connectors, each of the plug connectors has a shield with a keying projection. The first and second plug connectors may be substantially identical, except that the keying projections of the first and second connectors are on respectively opposite sides.
