ABSTRACT:
Plug and jack connector assemblies (20, 24) having internal shields (34, 108) separating pairs of connections, and grounding arrangements insuring continuity of ground between the mated assemblies. Within each assembly an interior shield comprises a unitary conductive member having a cross-shaped cross section dividing the interior of the assembly into quadrants. The assemblies are adapted to make eight separate connections, divided into pairs, for use with cabling made up of four twisted pairs (44). Each set of two connections is disposed within one of the quadrants defined by the interior shield, so that it is isolated from all the other connection pairs. The plug connector assembly includes a grounding bracket (32) securely attached to the outer shield (42) of its associated cable (22). The grounding bracket securely engages the conductive housing (102) of the mating jack connector assembly, which in turn is in contact with the outer shield (114) of its associated cable (26). In an alternate embodiment, the jack connector assembly is modified for use as a right angled circuit board mounted jack.
