Abstract:
1. A communications patching device, comprising: a mounting frame; a first communications connector mounted on the mounting frame, the first communications connector including a first output terminal and a second output terminal that are connected to respective first and second conductive paths through the first communications connector, the first and second conductive paths forming a first differential pair of conductive paths through the first communications connector and the first and second output terminals forming a first differential pair of output terminals; a second communications connector mounted on the mounting frame, the second communications connector including a third output terminal and a fourth output terminal that are connected to respective third and fourth conductive paths through the second communications connector, the third and fourth conductive paths forming a second differential pair of conductive paths through the second communications connector and the third and fourth output terminals forming a second differential pair of output terminals, the second communications connector being mounted immediately adjacent to the first communications connector and arranged such that a first signal coupling level from the first output terminal to the third output terminal in response to a first communication signal that is transmitted through the first differential pair of output terminals exceeds a second signal coupling level from the first output terminal to the fourth output terminal in response to the first communication signal being transmitted through the first differential pair of output terminals; a first capacitor between the first conductive path and the fourth conductive path; and a second capacitor between at least one of the first conductive path and the third conductive path or between the second conductive path and the fourth conductive path.
