Abstract
A communication cable connector assembly includes a first connector, a second connector, a first breakout connector and a second breakout connector. The first connector has a plurality of first terminals. The second connector has a plurality of second terminals with a plurality of pairs of adjacent terminals. Each of the plurality of second terminals mate with a corresponding one of the plurality of first terminals. A first subset of the pairs of adjacent terminals define first breakout terminal pairs which are non-adjacent relative to each other. A second subset of the pairs of adjacent terminals define second breakout terminal pairs which are non-adjacent relative to each other. A first breakout connector associated with the second connector has a plurality of third terminals connected with the first breakout terminal pairs of the second connector. A second breakout connector associated with the second connector has a plurality of fourth terminals connected with the second breakout terminal pairs of the second connector.
