Abstract
An electrical connector is disclosed which is for use with a patch cable on a data distribution panel. Connectors are placed at each end of the cable and can be latchably interconnected to the panel to interconnect shielded subassemblies together. A data distribution panel includes a conductive panel having openings for the receipt of shielded electrical data connectors from the rear thereof and are electrically commoned to the panel. The electrical connectors are in the form of shielded subassemblies which, when interconnected to the panel, are commoned by a finger which extends from the panel thereby contacting the subassemblies.
