ABSTRACT:
A connector assembly comprising a modular jack receiving a modular plug for interconnecting multiple contact elements in contact terminals located laterally in a row is disclosed. Nonadjacent contact elements in one of the connectors can be shunted by at least one separate shunting element. Interengagement of the two connectors can shift the shunting element to disconnect the bridged contact elements. The shunting elements are positioned such that a mating connector having a width no greater than the spacing of the shunting elements will not disengage the bridged connection.
