A cable connector comprises a contact subassembly, upper and lower shields, an outer housing and a latching mechanism including a pair of latch members and a pair of pressing members. The contact subassembly comprises an insulative housing having a front mating end, a shell enclosing the housing and a number of contacts of the same length received in the housing. A pair of cutouts is formed in opposite ends of the housing proximate the front mating end. A pair of transverse slots is formed in opposite ends of each extension plate of the shell proximate a main plate thereof. The lower shield comprises a pair of inwardly extending strips projecting from side walls thereof. The strips engage with the corresponding transverse slots of the shell and cutouts of the housing. Each latch member comprises a rear portion having a spring finger outwardly extending therefrom. The rear portion is press-fit into a pair of elongate grooves of the pressing member and a gap is defined therebetween.
