Abstract:
An apparatus and method for crosstalk compensation in a jack of a modular communications connector includes a flexible printed circuit board connected to jack contacts and to connections to a network cable. The flexible printed circuit board includes conductive traces arranged as one or more couplings to provide crosstalk compensation.
Abstract:
A communications connector with a flexible printed circuit board (34) is provided. The flexible printed circuit board is electronically and mechanically connected to the plug interface contacts (24) of the jack near the plug/jack interface, in order to provide effective crosstalk compensation. The flexible printed circuit board has fingers at one end allowing it to flex as individual plug interface contacts are depressed when a plug is installed into the jack. The flexible printed circuit board, or a flexible portion of a printed circuit board, is provided with elongated extensions (42a-42b) for certain conductors to accommodate the connection of six- contact ox eight -contact plugs to the connector.
