Abstract
A connector assembly for connecting wire leads of a first cable to corresponding wire leads of a second cable. A terminal housing structure has a first base, and a second base facing opposite to the first base. First pairs of connector terminals are configured to connect with pairs of wire leads of the first cable, and second pairs of connector terminals are configured to connect with pairs of wire leads of the second cable. A wiring board captured between the first and second bases has sets of conductive terminal openings at corresponding locations in the board. The first pairs of connector terminals are mounted on one side of the board in first pairs of terminal openings, and the second pairs of connector terminals are mounted on the opposite side of the board in second pairs of terminal openings which are electrically connected to the first pair of openings. The sets of terminal openings are spaced apart sufficiently to avoid cross-talk between the pairs of connector terminals.
