Abstract:
1. A communications connector, comprising: a first conductive path electrically connecting a first input of the connector and a first output of the connector; a second conductive path electrically connecting a second input of the connector and a second output of the connector, wherein the first and second conductive paths comprise a first differential pair of conductive paths for transmitting a first information signal; a third conductive path electrically connecting a third input of the connector and a third output of the connector; and a fourth conductive path electrically connecting a fourth input of the connector and a fourth output of the connector, wherein the third and fourth conductive paths comprise a second differential pair of conductive paths for transmitting a second information signal, wherein a first section of the first conductive path is immediately adjacent to a first section of the second conductive path that has the same instantaneous current direction as the first section of the first conductive path, and wherein a first section of the third conductive path is immediately adjacent to a first section of the fourth conductive path that has the same instantaneous current direction as the first section of the third conductive path.
