Abstract
A network interface for use with shielded data cable includes an insulative base member, a printed circuit board assembly and an insulative cover member, the printed circuit board assembly being insertable within the base member with the cover member being receivable over the insulative base and printed circuit board assembly. The printed circuit board assembly includes a plurality of shielded modular jacks disposed along a front edge of the printed circuit board. The shield members are interconnected to ground tabs at a rear edge of the printed circuit board via ground traces disposed on the printed circuit board. The terminals within the modular jacks are each interconnected to an electrical terminal IDC post via electrical traces on the printed circuit board. Shielded data cable is interconnectable to the interface with the shielding braid of the data cable dressed over the cable insulation and insertable within a resilient contact portion of the grounding clip.
