Abstract
Cable connectors are provided which include an insulating housing block including at least first and second contact-receiving cavities and at least one transverse opening for communicating between these cavities. The connector also includes an electrical cable assembly having at least two insulated signal wires co-axially protected by a conductive shell and disposed in the first contact-receiving cavity. A reference contact is disposed in the second cable-receiving cavity and includes a contact finger frictionally contacting the conductive shell through the transverse opening between the cavities for providing a reference voltage to, for example, a pin field connector, or the like.
