A modular jack assembly which has a base wall. A first lateral wall having a terminal end and an interior face and an exterior face extends longitudinally from the base. A second lateral wall extends axially from the base in spaced opposed relation to the first lateral wall. A third lateral wall and a fourth lateral wall are interposed in spaced relation between the first lateral wall and second lateral wall and extends axially from the base to form an insert receiving cavity. A plurality of laterally spaced conductors is arranged in a first group and a second group. The first group of conductors extends from the base to adjacent the terminal end of the first lateral wall and press through the lateral wall in a first plane. A second group of conductors extends longitudinally from the base to adjacent the terminal end of the first lateral wall in a and passes through that wall in the second plane which is at a different height from the first plane.
