Abstract
A network connection system for connecting computer and telephone network components, including a twisted pair cable termination connector for use with twisted pair cable, the twisted pairs being arranged within an outer cable jacket such that each twisted pair substantially occupies a cross sectional quadrant of the cable. The connector includes a pair separator having four passages arranged to substantially keep the four twisted pairs in a quadrant relationship relative to one another and in which the twisted relationship of each twisted pair is maintained substantially until the conductors are electrically terminated to their respective conductive contact member; and a mating component adapted to couple with the twisted pair cable termination connector.
