Abstract
A communications jack includes: a dielectric mounting substrate; and a plurality of contact wires, each of the contact wires having a contact segment, a compensating segment in electrical connection with the contact segment, and a base in electrical connection with the compensating segment and mounted in the mounting substrate. The contact segments are generally transversely aligned and parallel with each other. The contact segments are arranged in pairs, with a first pair of contact segments being immediately adjacent each other, a second pair of contact segments being immediately adjacent each other and positioned one side of the first pair, a fourth pair of contact segments being immediately adjacent each other and positioned on an opposite side of the first pair, and a third pair of contact segments sandwiching the first pair, with one of the contact segments of the third pair being disposed between the first and second pairs, and the other of the contact segments being disposed between the first and fourth pairs. The compensating segments are configured and arranged such that differential to common mode crosstalk generated between the contact segments of the second and third p…
