Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing a cable connector configured for high frequency signal transmission. The cable connector includes a printed circuit board (“PCB”), at least one conductive cable and a shield structure. The PCB includes a first side with a plurality of conductive traces formed thereon, each trace having a first end and a second end, and a second side with a shield layer formed thereon. The at least one conductive cable includes a plurality of conductive wires with one end of each wire being electrically connected to the first end of one of the plurality of conductive traces. The shield structure is mounted over the first side of the PCB to provide shielding and is connected to a portion of the at least one conductive cable. The shield structure further includes grounding contacts that are coupled to a portion of the first side of the PCB and to the shield layer.
