The insulative housing 10 includes a first portion on the upper and lower walls thereof. The receiving terminal 101 and the second receiving slot 102 include a first terminal 110 disposed in the first receiving slot 101 and a second terminal 111 disposed in the second receiving slot 102. The second connector 2 includes an insulative housing 20 , a conductive terminal 21 disposed in the insulative housing 20 , and a metal housing 22 shielded from the periphery of the insulative housing 20 .

Referring to the first to second figures, the printed circuit board 3 electrically connected to the first connector 1 and the second connector 2 in the first plug and the second plug of the present invention is arranged in the printed circuit. a first conductive sheet 30 and a second conductive sheet 31 on the front and rear surfaces of the upper and lower surfaces of the board 3, and the conductive terminals 11 in the first connector 2 are electrically connected to the first conductive sheet 30 on the upper and lower surfaces of the printed circuit board 3, The two connectors 2 are electrically connected to the second conductive sheets 31 on the upper and lower surfaces of the printed circuit board 3. The printed circuit board 3 further includes two rows of perforations arranged between the first conductive sheet 30 and the second conductive sheet 31, and the through holes in the front row are defined as first through holes 32, and the through holes in the rear row are defined as Two perforations 33.

The extending direction of the cable 4 is perpendicular to the opening direction of the first connector 1 and the second connector 2, and includes an insulating sheath 40 and a plurality of wires 41 disposed inside the insulating sheath 40, two of the cables 4 The insulating sheath 40 at the end is stripped to expose the wires 41 therein, and the wires at both ends of the cable 4 are divided into two rows arranged in the front-rear direction, wherein the front row wires 41 pass through the first through holes 32 to reach the printed circuit board. 3 is electrically connected, and the rear row of wires 41 passes through the second through holes 33 to achieve electrical connection with the printed circuit board 3.

In the cable connector assembly 100 of the present invention, each of the cables 4 is connected with a first connector 1 and a second connector 2, respectively, to a DisplayPort plug to a DisplayPort plug, a DisplayPort plug to a Mini DisplayPort plug, and a Mini DisplayPort. Three transfer functions from the plug to the Mini DisplayPort plug allow electrical connection between two DisplayPort sockets, one DisplayPort socket and one Mini DisplayPort socket, and two Mini DisplayPort sockets for two devices.

In summary, the present invention complies with the requirements of the invention patent and submits a patent application according to law. The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and those skilled in the art will be able to make equivalent modifications or changes in accordance with the spirit of the present invention.
