ABSTRACT:
Provided is a communications cable assembly and method of making the same. The cable includes a plurality of conductive wires coated with an insulative jacket and bound within a cover. Located at a first end of the cable is a first connector that includes a plurality of insulation displacement contacts that can receive the wires. Located along the cable between the first and second ends is a second connector that includes a plurality of insulation displacement contacts. The wires are received in the insulation displacement contacts of the second connector prior to being received by the insulation displacement contacts of the first connector. The first connector and second connector are thereby connected in series. A third connector including a third plurality of insulation displacement contacts can be located at the second end of the cable. In an embodiment, the first and second connectors can be rigidly bound to each other.
