Abstract
A cable assembly for terminating a cable. The cable assembly includes a cable assembly mating end and a cable assembly cable receiving end. A metallic outer shell is positioned proximate to the cable assembly mating end of the cable assembly. The metallic outer shell has a mating contact engagement portion. A housing made of dielectric material is positioned in the metallic outer shell. Resilient contact arms are provided on the mating contact engagement portion of the metallic outer shell. The resilient contact arms extend from proximate the cable assembly mating end. Front ends of the resilient contact arms are provided proximate the cable assembly mating end and cooperate with a protection portion of the cable assembly which extends from the cable assembly mating end to prevent the front ends of the resilient contact arms from stubbing when the cable assembly is mated to a mating assembly.
