A connection housing has a main and secondary pair of electrical contacts on a printed circuit board, each having a first and a second electrical contact. A first set of conductive tracks electrically couples the first contacts of the main and secondary pairs, and a second set of tracks electrically couples the second contacts of the main and secondary pairs. The contacts of the main pair are two perforation or insulation displacement contacts receiving transversally and directly connecting two insulated conductors of a same main single-pair Ethernet cable entering and exiting from the housing through two main ways for access to the housing. The contacts of the secondary pair electrically connect two insulated conductors of a same secondary Ethernet cable linked through a secondary way for access to the housing.
