Abstract
A modular plug for directing a plurality of twist pairs of core wires into an opening of a modular jack (500) for electrical connection, includes a guide member (140) for separating and arranging the twist pairs for each twist pair; a housing (110) for positioning and holding each twist pair for each core wire; and a plurality of contact terminals (120), each connected to each core wire. The contact terminals are arranged such that adjacent contact terminals are not substantially overlapped each other or overlapped only in part. The modular jack includes a plurality of contact terminals (520) arranged such that adjacent contact terminals are not substantially overlapped each other.
