Abstract
A modular plug is disclosed for terminating a telecommunications cable having twisted pairs of wires. The modular plug includes a housing defining an internal cavity and slots positioned toward a distal end of the housing, each slot being parallel to a central axis of the modular plug. A wire manager is fitted inside the internal cavity, and defines channels for positioning the twisted pairs of wires inside the housing. A wire sled extends from the wire manager and defines a plurality of grooves, each groove shaped to position an individual wire from the twisted pairs of wires at an angle with respect to the central axis. The modular plug further includes a plurality of plug contacts. Each plug contact is held by a slot of the housing and is structured to form an electrical interface with a wire positioned by the wire sled.
