Patent ID: 7172466

Claim:
An insert for a modular housing having a data signal transmission media plug receiving space, the insert comprising: a dielectric support member defining an inner end and an outer end; and a plurality of pairs of electrically conductive elongated members supported by the dielectric support member, each elongated member having: (i) a front end portion that engages the outer end of the dielectric support member and a rear end portion that engages the inner end of the dielectric support member, (ii) a contact region defined by the elongated member between the front end portion and the rear end portion to be exposed in the receiving space for making electrical contact with a media plug contact, and (iii) a curved portion that is disposed in the contact region and defines a shape, wherein the shape defined by the curved portion of one of the elongated members is substantially asymmetrical to the shape defined by the curved portion of another of the elongated members positioned adjacent to said curved portion of said one elongated member and wherein said shape defined by said curved portion of said one elongated member is substantially symmetrical to the shape defined by the curved portion of another of the elongated members not positioned adjacent to said curved portion of said one elongated member.
