A cable assembly includes a cable having signal conductors and a cable shield. The cable may have drain wires at sides of the cable. A ground clip is coupled to the end of the cable having a window that receives the exposed portions of the signal conductors therethrough. The ground clip is coupled to the circuit card to support the cable relative to the circuit card. The ground clip includes a lower grounding tab electrically connected to a lower portion of the cable shield and an upper grounding tab electrically connected to an upper portion of the cable shield. The ground clip includes connecting tines electrically connected to sides of the cable shield, such as via the drain wires.
