Abstract
A patch plug for connection to a 110-type connector block having a plurality of spaced apart electrical conductors. Each conduction has an insulation displacement contact at a back end thereof and a contact blade at a front end thereof. A dielectric housing contains the spaced apart electrical conductors and maintains them aligned in a predetermined position such that the insulation displacement conductors 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 contacts and includes two outer side walls one at each end of the single row of insulation displacement contacts. Intermediate walls are located between and extending above the insulation displacement contacts of adjacent conductors. Each conductor is configured to maximize space between adjacent conductors of different circuits and reduce exposed parallel surface area of adjacent conductors to thereby reduce or prevent crosstalk and signal interference. Additionally, the patch plug includes a st…
