A method for terminating a telecommunications cable where the cable comprises a plurality of twisted pairs of wires. The method comprises the steps providing an interconnection module comprising a pair of contacts for each of the twisted pairs, aligning the end portions and interconnecting each of the aligned end portions with a corresponding pair of conductive contacts. The aligning step comprises arranging the end portions such that when connected to the contact pairs, the twisted pairs remain uncrossed.

A wire lead guide for isolating the end portions of a plurality twisted pairs of wires and a connector assembly using the same. The guide comprises a guide body and a plurality of non-intersecting passageways through the body. Each of the passageways is comprised of an entrance and an exit. The end portions of one of the twisted pairs are inserted through a corresponding one of the passageways. The passageways isolate the twisted pairs of wires from one another.
