ABSTRACT:

FIELD OF THE INVENTOR
The present invention relates to a cable connector, and more particularly to a cable connector having an EMI shield for facilitating efficient signal transmission therethrough.
DESCRIPTION OF PRIOR ART
Cable connectors are assembled to ends of a cable which facilitates signal transmission between two computer systems. For example, a notebook computer requires a cable to electrically connect with an external floppy disk drive or a printer. Since the cable connector is directly connected to a complimentary connector of the computer system, an EMI shielding effect must be considered in the design of the cable connector.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
An objective of the present invention is to provide a cable connector having a better EMI shielding effect to ensure efficient signal transmission therethrough.
In order to achieve the objective set forth, a cable connector in accordance with the present invention generally comprises a housing defining a receiving chamber therein. The housing forms a mating portion for attaching to a mating connector and a rear portion through which a cable is directed. The cable is electrically connected with the connector by means of a printed circuit. An EMI bracket is arranged within the receiving chamber and a portion of the bracket extends beyond the mating portion of the housing.
These and additional objects, features, and advantages of the present invention will become apparent after reading the following detailed description of the preferred embodiment of the invention taken in conjunction with the appended drawings.
