Shielded connector assemblies for use in wiring/cabling applications are disclosed. The connector assemblies include first and secon jack openings th at facilitate interaction between plugs that feature different contact layou ts/alignments. Cable/plug combinations are also provided wherein the cable f eatures shielded twisted pair, fully shielded twisted pair and unshielded tw isted pair wires. The cable/plug interface includes a housing wherein indivi dual wires are brought into electrical communication with electrical contact s that are exposed relative to the exterior of the housing. The electrical c ontacts are positioned in quadrants of the plug housing, when view in cross- section, such that the plug complies with the contact geometry set forth in the IEC 60603-7-7 standard. The cable/plug is generally a preterminated asse mbly, whereby the plug is pre-mounted to the cable before shipment to an ins tallation location or distribution channel.
