Abstract
A wire aligner for assembly with the end portions of four twisted pairs of wires of a multi-conductor cable, is formed as a wire aligner housing having front and rear parts along a central longitudinal axis, the front part defining longitudinally therethrough three channels which are spaced apart horizontally as middle, left and right channels to define a first horizontal plane, and two upper channels spaced apart from each other and defining a second horizontal plane spaced from and above the first horizontal plane. The rear part extends rearwardly from the front part and comprises (a) a pair of left and right separators spaced apart horizontally to define a central space between them and left and right spaces outward of the left and right separators respectively, and (b) a divider extending horizontally between the separators and defining central upper and central lower spaces respectively. These separators are insertable between end portions of the multi-conductor cable such that end portions of two twisted pairs may become situated in each of the left and right spaces respectively, and end portions of two other of the four twisted pairs may become situated in each of the centra…
