The modular plug comprises eight conductive contacts, each conductive contact respectively attached to a wire leading therefrom, all of which are encased in an insulating housing. The eight wire modular plug housing has a streamlined configuration which permits entry thereof into any 6 or 8 wire modular jack. A pair of ramps are also provided to the modular plug to insure snap-fitting into certain 6 wire jacks having interior obstructions.
