Device for managing termination of conductors with jack modules

A communication connection system, comprising:

• a jack module with a plurality of insulation displacement connectors (IDCs), each of the IDCs having a slot for receiving therein a conductor;
• a communications cable comprising a plurality of twisted pairs of conductors;
• and
• a device for organizing the twisted pairs of conductors, the device comprising a block with upper and lower surfaces, first and second opposing end walls that define a longitudinal axis, and first and second opposing side walls, the block further comprising at least one aperture extending from the upper surface toward the lower surface, the aperture receiving each of the plurality of twisted pairs of the cable, each of the side walls including at least one open-ended slot opening downwardly, each of the slots sized and configured to receive a respective one of the twisted pair of conductors;
• wherein the device is attached to the jack module, and wherein each of the conductors is received in a respective one of the IDC slots.

A method of interconnecting a communications cable having a plurality of twisted pairs of conductors with a jack module, the method comprising the steps of:

• providing a cable organizing device, the device including upper and lower surfaces, first and second opposing end walls that define a longitudinal axis, and first and second opposing side walls, the block further comprising at least one aperture extending from the upper surface toward the lower surface, and each of the side walls including at least one open-ended slot opening downwardly;
• inserting the plurality of twisted pairs into the at least one aperture from above;
• and
• securing each of the twisted pairs in a respective slot.
