Abstract
A low profile, wide body modular plug and a multi-conductor shielded cable for termination therein and use with a low profile modular jack adapted to be mounted on a printed circuit board in a closely-spaced array. The low profile design of the plug features latching arms mounted on the outer side walls which mate with cooperating shoulders formed on the inner side walls of the jack. The plug preferably includes a flip-top door formed in the bottom wall thereof for permitting greater accessibility to the internal cable-receiving cavity of the plug. The flip-top door preferably includes a plurality of cable-engaging projections for increasing the pull-out or retention force of the cable and plug assembly. The plug is particularly designed to receive a multi-conductor shielded cable which includes three round shielded wire assemblies arranged in a planar array within an outer encapsulating jacket. Each shielded wire assembly includes a central filler surrounded by a single layer of insulated wires which are, in turn, wrapped within an outer conductive shield of foil layers or the like. One of the shielded wire assemblies includes an uninsulated ground wire located in the outer layer …
