Abstract:
1. A method of crosstalk compensation within a connector, the method comprising: determining an uncompensated crosstalk, including an uncompensated capacitive crosstalk and an uncompensated inductive crosstalk, of a wired pair in a connector, the uncompensated crosstalk including differential mode crosstalk and common mode crosstalk, the connector having a housing defining a port for receiving a plug, the housing including a plurality of contact springs adapted to make electrical contact with the plug when the plug is inserted into the port of the housing, the contact springs connecting to one or more wired pairs; applying at least two inductive elements to the wired pair, each of the at least two inductive elements configured and arranged to provide a zone of inductive crosstalk compensation, the at least two inductive elements configured and arranged to provide balanced compensation for the inductive crosstalk caused by the one or more pairs; applying at least two capacitive elements to the wired pair, each of the at least two capacitive elements configured and arranged to provide a zone of capacitive crosstalk compensation, the at least two capacitive elements configured and arranged to provide balanced compensation for the capacitive crosstalk caused by the one or more pairs.
