An electrical shielded data connector includes an inner terminal support housing (4, 404, 520) carrying a plurality of electrical terminals such as (30, 560) where the terminal support housing includes shield members (130, 160; 330, 360; 460; 516, 518) surrounding the terminal support housing (4, 404, 520). The shielded sub-assembly is insertable into an outer housing (70; 512, 514) and is latchably attached therein and a rear support plate (95) and cable support member (110) can be assembled around a cable after the termination of the multi-conductor cable. The cable support member (110) can be positioned in one of two orientations to provide for either a straight through or an angled cable exit. A cross talk shield (200, 524) is positioned in a stuffer cap (180, 522) and is situated between adjacent terminals (30, 560) when in the final position. Another cross talk shield (220, 320) is positioned in a slot (50, 450) intermediate the terminals (30) at the lower side thereof.

An electrical shielded data connector includes an inner terminal support housing carrying a plurality of electrical terminals such as where the terminal support housing includes a shielded assembly surrounding the terminal support housing. The shielded sub-assembly is insertable into an outer housing and is latchably attached therein and a rear support plate and cable support member are barred by part tide in nature and can be assembled around the cable after the termination of the multi conductor cable. The cable clamp portion can be positioned in one of two orientations to provide for either a straight through or an angled cable exit.
