A connector includes multiple ground terminals, multiple signal terminals, a cable and a ground assembly. The cable includes multiple ground wires and multiple signal wires. The ground assembly includes a plate and multiple protrusion structures. Each protrusion structure is arranged spacedly and extended from the plate. A top of each protrusion structure is higher than a surface of the plate. Each ground wire is electrically connected with each ground terminal and each protrusion structure. Each signal wire is electrically connected with each signal terminal. Each signal wire is formed between any two of the protrusion structures adjacent to each other. Therefore, high-speed transmission of digital signals may be undistortedly implemented.
