Abstract
A connector block for electrically cross-connecting two sets of conductors. The connector block has a wiring block with a plurality of insulation displacement contacts for mating with a first set of TIP conductors and a second set of RING conductors. An index strip made from dielectric material, is provided for securing the TIP and RING conductors against their respective contacts, wherein the index strip includes a plurality of C-shaped metal clips which provide crosstalk compensation in the connector block thereby providing the connector block with a worst conductor pair to conductor pair near-end crosstalk loss @100 MHz of better than 55 dB.
