Claims13
A modular plug for terminating a cable having a plurality of twisted signal pairs of conductors held therein, said plug comprising:
- a conductor divider having a plurality of divider channels for separating and arranging signal pairs of conductors in fixed planes;
- a load bar having a plurality of through holes for separating and arranging individual conductors into a plurality of fixed planes and a plurality of slots aligned with each through hole;
- and
- a plurality of contact terminals, each having a height corresponding to the fixed planes of the individual conductors, each of said contact terminals positioned in one of the plurality of slots and electrically connected to an individual conductor.
A modular plug for terminating a cable having a plurality of twisted signal pairs of conductors held therein, comprising:
- a conductor divider having a plurality of divider channels for separating and arranging signal pairs of conductors in fixed planes;
- a load bar having a plurality of through holes for separating and arranging individual conductors into a plurality of fixed planes and a plurality of slots, each slot aligned with a through hole, said through holes comprising at least two sets of side through holes and at least one set of central through holes, each hole in each of said sets of side through holes and said set of central through holes connected to at least one other through hole in the corresponding set;
- and
- a plurality of contact terminals, each of said contact terminals having a height corresponding to a fixed plane of an individual conductor, each of said contact terminals positioned in one of the plurality of slots and electrically connected to an individual conductor.
