Patent ID: 6840779

Claim:
A data line connection comprising a base printed circuit board which mounts a connecting strip having contact elements which are connected to lines of a data cable, a female connector mounted to the base printed circuit board and being configured to receive a male connector of a data cable therein, a compensation printed circuit board mounted within said female connector, said compensation printed circuit board mounting a plurality of electrically conductive contact elements which make contact with lines of the male connector when the male connector is inserted into the female connector, said compensation printed circuit board also mounting a compensation circuit which is connected to the contact elements which are mounted to the compensation printed circuit board for reducing electrical interference, and said base printed circuit board including line elements which provide an electrical connection between the contact elements of the female connector and the contact elements of said connecting strip via said compensation circuit, and further including a further compensation circuit on said base printed circuit board for reducing electrical interference in the line elements.
