1. A connection body configured to be connected to a front end of a cable structure in a front-rear direction, the cable structure comprising one or more first core wires and one or more second core wires, wherein:
the connection body comprises a body made of insulator, one or more first paths each made of conductor and one or more second paths each made of conductor;
the body has an upper surface, a lower surface and a rear surface;
the upper surface and the lower surface are located at opposite sides of the body, respectively, in an upper-lower direction perpendicular to the front-rear direction;
the rear surface faces rearward and couples the upper surface and the lower surface to each other in the upper-lower direction;
each of the first paths has a first wired portion, a first terminal portion and a first coupling portion;
the first wired portions are connected to the first core wires of the cable structure, respectively, under a connected state where the connection body is connected to the cable structure;
the first wired portions, the first terminal portions and the first coupling portions are formed on the upper surface of the body;
each of the first terminal portions is located forward of the first wired portion;
each of the first coupling portions couples the first wired portion and the first terminal portion to each other;
each of the second paths has a second wired portion, a second terminal portion and a second coupling portion;
the second wired portions are connected to the second core wires of the cable structure, respectively, under the connected state;
the second wired portions are formed on the upper surface of the body;
the second terminal portions are formed on the lower surface of the body;
each of the second terminal portions is located forward of the second wired portion; and
each of the second coupling portions extends on the upper surface, the rear surface and the lower surface and couples the second wired portion and the second terminal portion to each other.
