Abstract:
A printed circuit board (500a-d) is disclosed. The printed circuit board comprises a substrate (200) having a top surface (202) and a bottom surface (203). A ground plane (228) is on the bottom surface. A first signal trace (212a) is on the top surface along a first direction. At least two isolated power planes (208, 210) are on the top surface adjacent to opposite sides of the first signal trace, respectively. A conductive connection (216) along a second direction couples to the two power planes, across the first signal trace (212a) without electrically connecting to the signal trace, wherein the first signal trace (212a) doesn't directly pass over any split of the ground plane (228).

The device also includes a circuit board (68) and plurality of card edge connectors (96) for providing electrical connections between the splitter cards and the circuit board. The device further includes POTS connectors, LINE connectors and DATA connectors. The circuit board includes a first layer having first tracings that electrically connect contacts of at least one of the POTS, LINE or DATA connectors to at least one of the card edge connectors; a second layer having second tracings that electrically connect contacts of at least one of the POTS, LINE or DATA connectors to at least one of the card edge connectors; and a third layer having third tracings that electrically connect contacts of at least one of the POTS, LINE or DATA connectors to at least one of the card edge connectors. The second layer is positioned between the first and third layers. A majority of the second layer is covered by a grounding plane. The grounding plane and the second tracings are co-planar such that the grounding plane adds no additional thickness to the second layer. The grounding plane is positioned between the first and third tracings to reduce cross-talk between the first and third tracings.
