Abstract
A communications connector includes: a dielectric mounting substrate; at least four pairs of conductors mounted on the mounting substrate, each of the conductors including a free end segment, each of the free end segments being positioned in side-by-side and generally parallel relationship; and at least four pairs of terminals mounted on the mounting substrate, wherein each of the pairs of terminals is electrically connected to a respective pair of conductors. A first pair of conductor free end segments is immediately adjacent each other, a second pair of conductor free end segments is immediately adjacent each other and positioned one side of the first pair, a fourth pair of conductor free end segments is immediately adjacent each other and positioned on an opposite side of the first pair, and a third pair of conductor free end segments sandwiches the first pair, with one of the conductor free end segments of the third pair being disposed between the first and second pairs, and the other of the conductor free end segments being disposed between the first and fourth pairs. Each of the first, second and fourth pairs of conductors includes a crossover between the conductors of the pa…
