Abstract:
1. A communication jack for compensating a source of crosstalk in a mated communication plug over a range of signal operating frequencies, comprising: a housing having a first face with a plug receiving aperture therein; a plurality of conductive path pairs extending from corresponding plug interface contacts located at said plug receiving aperture to corresponding output terminals, said plurality of conductive path pairs including a first circuit board connected to said plug interface contacts and a second circuit board connected to said output terminals, said first circuit board including a first single stage of crosstalk compensation with opposite polarity of the crosstalk of the plug for at least one combination of said conductive path pairs, said second circuit board including a second single stage of crosstalk compensation with opposite polarity of the crosstalk of the plug for at least some of said conductive path pairs not compensated on said first circuit board, wherein said stages cancel substantially all of the crosstalk caused by the plug over the range of the signal operating frequencies, for corresponding combinations of said plurality of conductive path pairs.
