Abstract
A connector plug for interconnecting plurality of twisted pairs of wires in a cable has a body portion having a flared recess therein. A flared insert fits within the recess and has a top surface having first and second wire pair guiding channels and a bottom surface having third and fourth wire pair guiding channels extending from a cable entrance end to a contact end of the body portion. The insert has a channel defining cross-tail which is insertable into the end of the cable and the cable is crimped thereto by a crimping ring. A contact bearing contact base is mounted on the contact end of the body portion with the contacts immediately adjacent the end of the insert. Thus, the wires stay twisted from the cable to the contacts.
