Abstract: An in-line filtering device for a telecommunications line having an insulation displacement connection member located within a channel formed in a dielectric housing. The connection member is devoid of a wire terminal. A ground line is connected to the connector member, the ground line including a radio frequency filter. The channel is open-ended at both ends to allow an insulated conductor wire to pass, without a break in the wire, completely along the channel and out from both ends with the conductor wire electrically connected to the insulation displacement connection member.
