1. A telecommunications device adapted to receive a plug, the telecommunications device having at least one circuit board, the telecommunications device comprising:
a housing defining a port for receiving the plug;
first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth consecutively arranged contact springs adapted to make electrical contact with the plug when the plug is inserted into the port of the housing;
first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth wire termination contacts for terminating wires to the device;
first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth conductive paths that respectively electrically connect the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth contact springs to the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth wire termination contacts;
the fourth and fifth contact spring, the fourth and fifth wire termination contact and the fourth and fifth conductive path corresponding to a first wire pair;
the first and second contact spring, the first and second wire termination contact and the first and second conductive path corresponding to a second wire pair;
