Claim Text:
1. A device, comprising: a PCB including a compensation region of a given length that reduces crosstalk caused between pairs of conductors by a connector; a first pair of conductors (“first pair”) extending the given length of the compensation region and having a first tip conductor on a first layer of the PCB and a first ring conductor on a second layer of the PCB; a nearest neighbor pair of conductors (“NNP”) adjacent to the first pair, the NNP having a second tip conductor and a second ring conductor; and a next nearest neighbor pair of conductors (“NNN”) adjacent to the nearest neighbor pair of conductors, the NNN having a third tip trace formed over the given length of the second layer of the PCB and a third ring trace formed over the given length of the first layer of the PCB, wherein: the NNP is located between the first pair and the NNN; and the second tip conductor and second ring conductor are twisted at a twist point of the compensation region.
