A modular, multiple-wire connector has a connector body (10) with insulation displacement contacts (18) or twisted plug contacts to allow the modular interconnection of a plurality of wires, particularly pairs of telecommunications wires, and further includes a cover which is releasable from the connector body to expose the terminal portions of a first set of the wires at their connection points, and a wire retention strip (40) which is separably attached to the connector body along an edge thereof. Variations of the connector body (10) and wire retention strip (40) are disclosed, and several similar or different strips may be used on a single connector body. The wire retention strip (40) may have two rows of wire retention posts (44) along both edges thereof, and the connector body (10) may be designed to receive two such strips (40), one on either side thereof.
