Abstract: A cable connector assembly (100) includes a cable connector (1), a grounding bar (2), a number of wires (3) terminated by the connector, and a piece of conductive tape (4). The cable connector has an insulative housing (10), a terminal insert (12) retaining therein a number of terminals (122), and a metallic shell (14) covering the housing. The terminals include a number of signal terminals (122a) conductively connecting with the wires, a number of ground terminals (122b) arranged between the signal terminals, and a number of power terminals (122c) located beside the signal and ground terminals. The grounding bar has a main plate (20) positioned outside the housing and a number of ground fingers (22) extending from an edge of the main plate and electrically connecting with corresponding ground terminals. The conductive tape substantially wraps about the grounding bar and electrically connects with the metallic shell.
