Abstract
A modular type electrical connector comprises multiple unit connectors which again may be divided into multiple sub-units. Multiple number of unit connectors are attached together for the multiple wires of a cable making the modular type connector. The number of the unit connectors being used depends on the number of the wires of a cable. Each of the unit connectors is shielded with a highly conductive material. As a result, upon being attached together, each of the signal conducting paths, i.e. the wires of a cable, IDCs, contact blades, are separated from each other by a highly conductive coating material on the surface of the unit connectors thereby reducing near end cross talk of the modular type connector while providing flexibility in configuration and assembly.
