A wire guide, method and connector assembly for interconnecting an end of a cable comprising at least two twisted pairs of conductors, each of the conductors enveloped in an insulating covering, with the bifurcated contacts of a connecting block. The assembly comprises an insulated housing, at least two pairs of non-contacting conductive terminals disposed in the housing, each of the terminals comprising a blade exposed along a front face of the housing and adapted to be inserted into one of the bifurcated contacts, and a piercing mechanism, and at least two guideways between the cable end and the pair of conductive terminals, one guideway for guiding each of the twisted pairs, wherein two of the guideways are arranged such that, at a point of intersection, the twisted pairs carried by each of cross substantially at right angles. Each of the conductors is terminated by one of the terminals, the piercing mechanism puncturing the insulated covering of a free end of the conductor thereby bringing the terminal into conductive contact with the conductor.
