Abstract

Abstract A shielded electrical data connector (10) terminates a shielded multiconductor cable. The data connector includes an insulative housing having a conductive housing shield (16, 18) therein. A contact holding member (36) is accommodated in the connector housing and supports a row of plural spaced electrical contacts (52) thereon. A contact shield (38) is supported by the contact holding member. The contact shield has a shield extension (68) extending between at least two of the contacts so as to reduce cross-talk as between the two contacts. The contact shield (38) is electrically commoned with the housing shield (16, 18) to maintain continuous electrical shielding.
