  • an insulative housing configured to mate with an RJ-45 modular jack along a front-to-back direction; and

    a terminal module moveable relative to the housing and including an insulator enclosing a plurality of contacts configured to mate with corresponding terminals of the RJ-45 modular jack, the contacts arranged in a row along a transverse direction perpendicular to the front-to-back direction;

    whereina front mating portion of the terminal module is dimensioned less than the housing in a vertical direction perpendicular to both the front-to-back direction and the transverse direction so as to be mated independently with a thin receptacle connector which is thinner than the RJ-45 modular jack in said vertical direction.
