Abstract

A cable connector includes a connector body, a cable, a circuit board, and a bump block. The connector body is provided with a plurality of plug terminals welded on a plurality of terminal pads on the circuit board. A plurality of upper and lower core wires of the cable are welded on a plurality of core wire pads on the top and bottom surfaces of the circuit board. The wire divider includes a plurality of grooves and at least one perforation. Each core wire is embedded in the corresponding groove. The bump block is inserted into the perforation. Part of the bump block passes through the perforation and is located between the cable's upper and lower core wires. Through the shielding effect of the bump block, it can avoid to form the electrical coupling between the upper and lower core wires so as to reduce crosstalk.

Claims (20)

1. A cable connector with low crosstalk, including:

a connector body, provided with one end including a plug, and provided with other end including a plurality of plug terminals;

a cable including a plurality of core wires;

a circuit board, provided at one side thereof configured with a plurality of terminal pads, and provided at other side thereof configured with a plurality of core wire pads; wherein the plurality of plug terminals of the connector body are welded on the plurality of terminal pads, and the plurality of core wires of the cable are welded on the plurality of core wire pads of the circuit board;

at least one bump block, arranged beside the other side of the circuit board, and extended outward from the other side of the circuit board; and

a wire divider including a plurality of grooves and at least one perforation, wherein each of the plurality of core wires is embedded in the corresponding groove, and the at least one bump block is inserted into the at least one perforation; wherein part of the at least one bump block passes through the at least one perforation, and is located between the plurality of core wires of the cable.

2. The cable connector according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one bump block is integrally formed with the circuit board.

3. The cable connector according to claim 1 , wherein the number of the least one bump block is two.

4. The cable connector according to claim 1 , further including an upper cover and a lower cover, wherein the plurality of plug terminals of the connector body, the circuit board, the wire divider, and part of the cable are placed in an accommodating space between the upper cover and the lower cover.

5. The cable connector according to claim 1 , wherein the cable connector is a connector conforming to USB, HDMI, or Display Port standard protocol.

6. The cable connector according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one bump block is a multi-layered board including at least one grounded metal layer, the at least one grounded metal layer in the at least one bump block generates a shield effect between the plurality of core wires in upper row and the plurality of core wires in lower row.

7. A cable connector with low crosstalk, including:

a connector body, provided with one end including a plug, and provided with other end including a plurality of plug terminals;

a cable including a plurality of core wires;

a circuit board, provided at one side thereof configured with a plurality of terminal pads, and provided at other side thereof configured with a plurality of core wire pads; wherein the plurality of plug terminals of the connector body are welded on the plurality of terminal pads, and the plurality of core wires of the cable are welded on the plurality of core wire pads of the circuit board; and

at least one bump block, arranged beside the other side of the circuit board, extended outward from the other side of the circuit board, and located between the plurality of core wires of the cable;

wherein the at least one bump block is a multi-layered board including at least one grounded metal layer, the at least one grounded metal layer in the at least one bump block generates a shield effect between the plurality of core wires in upper row and the plurality of core wires in lower row.

8. The cable connector according to claim 7 , wherein the at least one bump block is integrally formed with the circuit board.

9. The cable connector according to claim 7 , further including an upper cover and a lower cover, wherein the plurality of plug terminals of the connector body, the circuit board, a wire divider, and part of the cable is placed in an accommodating space between the upper cover and the lower cover.

10. The cable connector according to claim 7 , wherein the cable connector is a connector conforming to USB, HDMI, or DisplayPort standard protocol.
