  • Patent number: 11978993
    Abstract: To prevent both increase in impedance and a short circuit, a connector cable is configured such that a connector and a shielded cable are connected via a relay substrate. The shielded cable includes at least an inner conductor, a dielectric covering the inner conductor, and a shield member covering the dielectric. The inner conductor is connected to a contact of the connector at a part where the shield member and the dielectric are removed to expose the inner conductor. At least directly under a part where the shield member is removed to expose the dielectric, a ground (GND) conductor layer on a front surface of the relay substrate is arranged. The GND conductor layer on the front surface of the relay substrate, which is arranged directly under the part where the shield member is removed, is covered with an insulating member.
