Abstract
A patch plug for connection to a 110-type connector block having a plurality of spaced apart electrical contacts. Each contact has an insulation displacement connector at a back end thereof and a contact blade at a front end thereof. A dielectric housing contains the spaced apart electrical contacts and maintains them aligned in a predetermined position such that the insulation displacement contacts are disposed rearwardly of the respective blades, are arranged upwardly, and are aligned in a single row transverse to the direction of insertion of the contact blades into the 110-type connector block. A contact protection block is formed around the single row of insulation displacement connectors and includes two outer side walls one at each end of the single row of insulation displacement connectors. Intermediate walls are located between and extending above the insulation displacement connectors of adjacent contacts.
