摘要:
According to embodiments of the present invention, a modular plug assembly for use with a cable including a drain wire includes a plug housing, an electrically conductive plug wrap, and an electrically conductive contact member. The electrically conductive plug wrap is mounted on the housing and includes a contact portion. The electrically conductive contact member is adapted to be mounted on the cable such that the contact member engages the drain wire. When the plug assembly is mounted on the cable, the contact member engages the contact portion of the plug wrap to provide electrical continuity between the drain wire and the plug wrap.

A jack assembly for use with a modular electrical plug includes a jack housing. The jack housing includes an electrically non-conductive substrate metallized with a metal shield layer. The jack housing defines a socket adapted to receive the plug. At least one electrical contact is positioned in the socket to engage the plug when the plug is inserted in the socket. An electrically conductive jumper member including a drain wire connector may be mounted on the jack housing. The drain wire connector includes a pair of connector tabs defining a slot therebetween to receive and hold the drain wire.
