Patent ID: 8052483

Claim:
A communication jack configured to mate with a complimentary plug, the jack having an opening and eight aligned jack contacts such that the jack contacts can be sequentially numbered from 1 to 8 starting at a first end and ending at a second end, comprising: a first printed circuit board electrically attached to the jack contacts, the first printed circuit board containing circuitry to only provide compensating crosstalk between jack contact 2 and jack contact 6 , between jack contact 3 and jack contact 5 , between jack contact 4 and jack contact 6 , and between jack contact 3 and jack contact 7 ; and a second printed circuit board electrically connected to the contacts, the second printed circuit board containing compensation circuitry to provide compensating crosstalk between jack contact 1 and jack contact 4 and between jack contact 5 and jack contact 8 , wherein the first printed circuit board is connected to the jack contacts at a point closer to an interface between the jack contacts and contacts of the plug than a point where the second printed circuit board is connected to the jack contacts.
