Abstract
According to embodiments of the present invention, a modular plug assembly for use with a cable including a drain wire includes a plug housing, an electrically conductive plug wrap, and an electrically conductive contact member. The electrically conductive plug wrap is mounted on the housing and includes a contact portion. The electrically conductive contact member is adapted to be mounted on the cable such that the contact member engages the drain wire. When the plug assembly is mounted on the cable, the contact member engages the contact portion of the plug wrap to provide electrical continuity between the drain wire and the plug wrap.
