A cable connector assembly includes a connector comprising an insulative body, a number of conductive terminals received in the insulative body, and a printed circuit board (PCB) electrically connected with the conductive terminals; a cable having a plurality of core wires; and a number of electronic components disposed on the PCB. The insulative body includes a front face and a rear face opposite to the front face. The PCB has a front portion electrically connected with the conductive terminals, a rear portion electrically connected with the core wires, and a middle portion connecting the front portion and the rear portion. The rear portion has a number of first pads electrically connected with the core wires. The front portion and the middle portion are disposed in the insulative body and the rear portion is disposed outside of the insulative body.
