This invention relates to a terminal unit for cable pairs in telecommunication systems, comprising an electrical connector made of two plastic bodies each having a cutting and clamping contact inserted thereinto. The cutting and clamping contacts extend into clamping slots of the connector for cable pairs. The connectors are affixed to a mounting frame for receiving said electrical connectors. The plastic bodies forming the contact housings are advantageously identical and preferably each receives a pair of cutting and clamping contacts. Each connector housing body is provided on its base face opposed to the clamping slots with latching elements for joining together two said plastic bodies to form a casing the casing is provided on two opposed outer faces with latching structures, by means of which the two said plastic bodies are releasably latchable in an aperture of a mounting frame to permit both said plastic bodies to protrude on either side from said mounting frame.
