A cable connector with a first body, a plurality of terminals, and a plurality of wires is provided. The first body comprises a plurality of first slots and a plurality of second slots. The terminals comprise a plurality of first terminals and a plurality of second terminals. Each of the first terminals and the second terminals comprises a contacting zone, a fixing zone, and a riveting zone. The first terminals and the second terminals are respectively in the first slots and the second slots of the first body. Each of the wires having a connecting part corresponding to one of the riveting zones of the first terminals and the second terminals, and a part of some of the wires are covered by insulating layers. The connecting parts of the wires are connected with the riveting zones of the corresponding terminals.

An electrical contact pad for electrically contacting a connector includes a first region having a first length in a longitudinal direction, and a second region having a second length in the longitudinal direction that is greater than the first length. The first region is arranged to contact a first arm of the connector and the second region is arranged to contact a second arm of the connector. The first length being smaller than the second length results in an increase in the impedance of the electrical contact pad as compared to typical contact pads which tend to correspond to low impedance regions.
