Abstract:
1. An RJ-45 communications plug that has first through eighth conductive paths where the fourth and fifth conductive paths are part of a first differential transmission line, the first and second conductive paths are part of a second differential transmission line, the third and sixth conductive paths are part of a third differential transmission line, and the seventh and eighth conductive paths are part of a fourth differential transmission line, the plug comprising: a housing; first through eighth plug blades that are at least partially within the housing and that are electrically connected to the respective first through eighth conductive paths, the first through eighth plug blades aligned in a row in numerical order; a differential-to-common mode crosstalk cancellation circuit that substantially cancels common mode crosstalk that is injected within the plug from the third differential transmission line onto the second differential transmission line when the third differential transmission line is excited differentially, wherein the third differential transmission line is configured to inject differential crosstalk onto the second differential transmission line when the third differential transmission line is excited differentially.
