Abstract: A modular plug connector that achieves category 5 cross talk performance is constructed with substantially parallel conductor positioning channels situated in a pair of spaced apart planar arrays to position individual conductors for termination by a plurality of flat insulation displacement contacts. A plurality of conductor guide ramps are formed such that upon insertion of the individual conductors, alternating conductors will be guided into their respective spaced apart array.
