Abstract
A jack assembly for use with a modular electrical plug includes a jack housing. The jack housing includes an electrically non-conductive substrate metallized with a metal shield layer. The jack housing defines a socket adapted to receive the plug. At least one electrical contact is positioned in the socket to engage the plug when the plug is inserted in the socket. An electrically conductive jumper member including a drain wire connector may be mounted on the jack housing. The drain wire connector includes a pair of connector tabs defining a slot therebetween to receive and hold the drain wire.
