An electrical connector assembly simply, and securely, grounds a shielding layer of a telephone cable to a conductive, grounded chassis of a protector module. The connector assembly includes an electrically conductive sleeve, which is inserted into an end of the telephone cable. The conductive sleeve engages the shielding layer within the telephone cable. A threaded stud is integrally formed on the conductive sleeve and extends outwardly. A conductive bracket is mounted on the grounded chassis, and has a through hole for receiving the threaded stud. The threaded stud is secured, by a nut, to the conductive bracket, thereby grounding the shielding layer of the telephone cable to the grounded chassis. By the arrangement, the telephone cable's shielding layer is grounded, the telephone cable is firmly coupled to the protector module, and strain relief is provided in the coupling.
