In one aspect, guideways are provided for positioning the wires of a cable for receipt within the grooves. The guideways accept both standard and coaxial conductors. A pocket carries a clip with insulation displacement tines to contact the braid of the coaxial conductor. In a second aspect, the member has alternating arrays of shallow and deeper grooves on each surface. The shallow and deeper grooves on each surface communicate with each other via a groove in the leading edge of the member. The shallow and deeper grooves on each surface register with the respective deeper and shallow grooves on the other surface.
