Claim:
A cable connector, comprising: a contact assembly including an electrically insulating block body and a plurality of signal contacts incorporated therein; an intermediary interconnection board having a plurality of contact connection pads, a plurality of groups of adjacent wire connection pads, and a plurality of interconnects on a surface thereof, interconnects connecting the contact connection pads to the corresponding wire connection pads, the contact connection pads being electrically connected to the corresponding signal contacts of the contact assembly; and a cable having a plurality of wires electrically connected to the corresponding wire connection pads, wherein adjacent ones of the groups of the adjacent wire connection pads in a direction along a first edge of the intermediary interconnection board opposed to a second edge thereof along which the contact connection pads are arranged are offset in a direction in which the interconnects extend, so that the groups of the adjacent wire connection pads are arranged at a first interval greater than a second interval at which the adjacent wire connection pads are arranged in each of the groups thereof.
