(57) A modular jack assembly which includes an insulative housing (10) with a first longitudinal wall (12), a second longitudinal wall (14) superimposed over the first longitudinal wall (12) in spaced parallel relation. A third longitudinal wall (16) is superimposed over the second longitudinal wall (14) in spaced parallel relation. There is a first pair of spaced transverse walls (18, 20) interposed between the first (12) and second (14) longitudinal wall to form a first plug receiving port (22). There is also a second pair of spaced transverse walls interposed between the second (14) and third (16) longitudinal wall to form a second plug receiving port (24). The first plug receiving port (22) is longitudinally displaced from said second plug receiving port (24). A first insulative insert (26) having base (28) and upper (30) sides and rear (32) and terminal (34) ends is positioned so that its terminal end (34) extends into the first plug receiving port (22). A second insulative insert having base and upper sides and rear and terminal ends is positioned so that its terminal end extends into the second plug receiving port (24).
