Claim 17:
18. A cable connector assembly comprising:
a connector housing having a mating end and a cable end, the connector housing including cable cavities extending between the mating end and the cable end; and
a plurality of cable assemblies received in corresponding cable cavities and coupled to the connector housing, each cable assembly including a cable and a contact assembly coupled to an end of the cable, the cable extending from the cable end of the connector housing, the cable having an insulator holding a first conductor and a second conductor, the cable having a cable shield surrounding the first and second conductors along a length of the cable, the contact assembly including a contact holder holding a first contact and a second contact, the contact assembly including a contact shield providing electrical shielding for the first and second contacts;
the contact holder including a first contact channel and a second contact channel, the contact holder extending between a front and a rear, the cable coupled to the rear of the contact holder;
the first contact received in the first contact channel, the first contact being terminated to an end of the first conductor at a first interface, the first contact having a mating end forward of the front of the contact holder;
the second contact received in the second contact channel, the second contact being terminated to an end of the second conductor at a second interface, the second contact having a mating end forward of the front of the contact holder; and
the contact shield coupled to the contact holder, the contact shield including a base and a shroud forward of the base, the base located in the corresponding cable cavity, the shroud located at least one of at or forward of the mating end of the connector housing, the base surrounding a base chamber that receives an end of the cable and the contact holder, the base surrounding the first and second contacts and the first and second conductors to provide electrical shielding at the first and second interfaces, the base being electrically connected to the cable shield, the shroud surrounding a shroud chamber that receives the mating ends of the first and second contacts to provide electrical shielding along the mating ends of the first and second contacts.
