Abstract
There is provided a communication connector for improving signal transmission performance, the communication connector including a cable termination component being sized and configured for selective receipt of a plurality of conductor pairs of a cable; a plurality of slots on said cable termination component, wherein each wire of each of the plurality of conductor pairs may be selectively pressed into one of the plurality of slots; a receptacle component including a plurality of electrical contacts and a plurality of offset-positioned insulation displacement contacts (IDCs), each of the plurality of offset-positioned IDCs being aligned for engaged abutment with a corresponding one of the wires of the plurality of conductor pairs when the cable termination component and the receptacle component are coupled; a printed circuit board; and wherein the offset placement of the IDCs increases the separation distance between IDCs of another receptacle component when a plurality of the receptacle components are adjacent to one another, whereby a signal transmission is improved.
