Claim Text:
1. A jack for improving crosstalk attenuation, comprising: a housing; a metallized surface at least partially covering the housing; a printed circuit board contained within the housing; first and second insulation displacement contacts, the first insulation displacement contact being located closer to the metallized surface than the second insulation displacement contact, the first and second insulation displacement contacts being associated with a first differential signal; and a first conductive trace stub electrically connected to the second insulation displacement contact routed proximate to an edge of the printed circuit board and proximate to the metallized surface, the first conductive trace stub configured to at least partially balance coupling from the first insulation displacement contact to the metallized surface with coupling from the second insulation displacement contact to the metallized surface for the first differential signal.
