Abstract

A modular connector has a body defining an opening to receive a telephone type jack. The conductors are arranged in pairs so that adjacent conductors of non-pairs create capacitive and inductive cross talk. The conductors are non-parallel in-part to provide inductive coupling that reduces cross talk. The free ends of the conductors are connected to capacitive layers of a substrate located behind the contact portions to reduce capacitive cross talk.
