Patent ID: RE40375

Claim:
A back-end variation control cap for use with a jack module including a plurality of insulation displacement connectors, the back-end variation control cap being configured for routing a plurality of twisted conductor pairs, said back-end variation cap comprising: an upper portion; a bottom portion spaced from the upper portion; a plurality of twisted pair channels extending between the upper portion and the bottom portion; a pair of opposed end walls, each of the end walls including a plurality of wire constraints disposed thereon, each wire constraint having opposed surfaces configured to retain one conductor of the plurality of twisted conductor pairs; a plurality of twisted pair splitters, each twisted pair splitter extending downwardly from the bottom portion adjacent a different one of the twisted pair channels, each twisted pair splitter being configured to facilitate separating the conductors of one of the twisted pairs; and wherein each of the twisted pair channels is sized and shaped to receive a respective one of the twisted conductor pairs such that, when retained by respective wire constraints, each conductor is aligned with one of the insulation displacement connectors.
