Abstract
A modular plug for use with unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable of circular cross section and having a multiplicity of twisted pairs of insulated wires includes a stabilizer having an insert portion of generally rectangular cross section at one end with greater width than height. The insert portion provides a multiplicity of laterally spaced, parallel, separate channels for each of the wire pairs, and the stabilizer is fabricated of a deformable material. The plug housing is comprised of a pair of mating halves defining a cavity opening at one end thereof cooperatively dimensioned with and seating the stabilizer. The halves of the plug housing are deformable about the stabilizer to effect secure engagement thereof.
