Abstract
A connector made up of a plug and outlet which, when mated, define four shielded quadrants, each of which houses a pair of contacts. Shield members within the plug overlap and shield members within the outlet overlap. In addition, shield members within the outlet overlap adjacent shield members in the plug when mated. Overlapping the shield members at each shield member junction provides enhanced shielding and reduced crosstalk.
