ABSTRACT:
A modular connector or coupler (10) for electrically connecting two cordsets each of which is terminated by a modular plug. The coupler is characterized by a central partition (49, 49') extending transversely to the longitudinal axis of the coupler for supporting a plurality of side-by-side conductors (70) therethrough. The conductors extend from both sides of the partition into plug-receiving cavities (40, 40') formed on each side of the partition. The ends of the conductors in each cavity comprise spring contacts (76, 76') adapted to mate with correspondingly aligned contact terminals (78, 78') similarly spaced in the mating modular plug (60, 60'). The two plug-receiving cavities may be arranged as mirror images of one another along the partition whereby the signals on the respective contact terminals of the two modular plugs will be positionally transposed. Alternatively, the cavities may be reverse images of one another whereby the signals on the respective contact terminals of the mating plugs will be positionally matched.
