Abstract

A wiring connecting system having superior electrical transmission performance with reduced cross talk and improved lacing and termination features is disclosed and includes a base, a wire strip mountable to the base, a connecting block for housing a plurality of electrical contacts and a plurality of cross talk barriers disposed within the connecting block for isolating pairs of the electrical contacts. The wire strip has a plurality of first and second posts alternating along its length. The second posts have a greater width than the first posts. A connecting block for housing a plurality of electrical contacts mounts onto the wire strip. An upper end of the connecting block includes a plurality of first and second teeth alternating along its length with the second teeth have a greater width than the first teeth. The electrical contacts extend from the lower end of the housing to generally align with the openings of the wire strip. A plurality of barriers for electrically shielding pairs of the electrical contacts are disposed within the connecting block housing and substantially surround respective pairs of the electrical contacts. A plug for connecting a cable having a pluralit…
