Abstract
In an interconnection system including a cable and connectors, compensation is provided for stray reactances found in the connector elements. The connector elements may be RJ-style connector plug and jack pairs, which exhibit characteristic capacitive and inductive properties. The compensation is capacitive and/or inductive elements formed in the cable, components of the connectors, or an external printed wiring board. A double &pgr;-network is the preferred circuit topology for the compensated system.
