The device also advantageously provides for the isolation and grounding of electrostatic discharge. The shield terminating device in one embodiment is constituted by a contact passing through the housing of the modular plug connector into the cord-receiving cavity of the connector housing so as to electrically engage the shield sheath of the cord. | |
