Patent ID: 6872084

Claim:
An electrical connector assembly comprising: a housing; a planar insulating body which cooperates with the housing, the insulating body having a plurality of conductor pads formed on both sides thereof which are provided in electrical engagement with a plurality of cables; the cables each have a positive signal line and a negative signal line used for differential transmission, and a ground line; the positive signal line and negative signal line of each cable are connected to adjacent signal conductor pads on one side of the insulating body, while the ground line of each cable is connected to a ground conductor pad on an opposed side of the insulating body, the ground conductor pad is located in an intermediate position between the adjacent signal conductor pads to which the positive signal line and negative signal line are connected; and the signal conductor pads are disposed so that the signal conductor pad to which the positive signal line or negative signal line of each cable is connected is located in closest proximity to another conductor pad connected to a signal line having a same polarity, thereby reducing the amount of interference between respective cables.
