Abstract
A connector for a communications system provides desired levels of crosstalk by controlling the positions and lengths of the wires. A plurality of insulation displacement contacts are mounted in slots in the plug housing for movement between retracted positions and inserted positions extending into the internal chamber. A first insert is disposed in the internal chamber. A second insert is partially disposed in the internal chamber and has a front end proximal the first insert rear end. The second insert has first, second, third and fourth channels extending from the rear end to the front end of the second insert. Four pairs of wires extend from a cable sheath and pass through one of the first, second, third and fourth channels of the second insert and through a first passageway in the first insert to the insulation displacement contacts in an internal chamber of the connector.
