Claim:
1. A high-speed connector comprising: at least one pair of connection elements of male or female type that are parallel and installed in an insert of insulating material forming a support for said connection elements, each of said connection elements of said pair being electrically connected to an electrical conductor of a twisted pair, wherein an end portion of said insert is shaped to define a baffle between the two connection elements, which baffle is suitable for imparting dielectric contact to the abutment interface between said insert and another insert that is similar and forms part of another connector, thereby establishing dielectric continuity at said abutment interface, wherein the end portion of said insert includes a tooth projecting along a direction parallel to a direction of said connection elements, and an adjacent notch that is parallel and that opens out at the root of said tooth, the tooth and the notch being substantially identical in shape and dimensions so as to co-operate respectively with a similar notch and a similar tooth of said other insert, and wherein said insert comprises two substantially cylindrical segments that are side by side, in that the tooth extends from a side of one of the segments, and said notch extends into the end portion of the other segment along a side of the other segment.
