Claim:
1. A substrate having an edge, the substrate comprising: a first active trace and a second active trace, wherein the first active trace corresponds to a first signal of a differential pair and the second active trace corresponds to a second signal of the differential pair; a first conductive via and a second conductive via, wherein the first and the second conductive vias are located at different distances from the edge of the substrate, wherein the first active trace is routed to the first conductive via, and the second active trace is routed around the first conductive via to the second conductive via such that the second active trace is between the first conductive via and the edge of the substrate, wherein the first conductive via is between the second conductive via and the edge of the substrate; and a first plating trace in electrical contact with the first active trace; and a second plating trace in electrical contact with the second active trace, wherein the first and second plating traces are routed to the edge of the substrate on different metal layers of the substrate.
