Patent ID: 7037140

Claim:
An arrangement for compensating cross-talk noise in an electrical signal, comprising: a printed circuit board that is adapted to be mounted with respect to a dielectric modular jack and a plurality of insulation displacement connectors; and a dielectric modular jack mounted with respect to the printed circuit board, the dielectric modular jack including: (i) a dielectric modular jack housing defining a signal transmission media receiving space; (ii) an insert positioned within the dielectric modular jack housing, the insert including an upper portion defining a first set of slots and a lower portion defining a second set of slots, (iii) a plurality of pairs of elongated conductors disposed in the dielectric modular jack housing and disposed relative to the signal transmission media receiving space, each elongated conductor of the plurality of elongated conductors having a front end portion and a back end portion, the back end portion including a connecting device for connecting with the printed circuit board and the front end portion being received in one of the first or second slots and including a contact portion for engaging one of a plurality of conductive leads, wherein each of the pairs of elongated conductors included an angled portion that extends within the signal transmission receiving space above the upper portion and the lower portion of the insert; and wherein the plurality of pairs of elongated conductors are in a positional relationship with respect to each other to form a capacitance for compensating electrical noise in a signal transmission.
