Patent ID: 8151457

Claim:
A method for providing crosstalk compensation in a jack, the crosstalk compensation being adapted to compensate for undesired crosstalk generated at a capacitive coupling located at a plug inserted within the jack, the method comprising: providing a first capacitive coupling positioned a first time delay away from the capacitive coupling of the plug, the first capacitive coupling having a greater magnitude and an opposite polarity as compared to the capacitive coupling of the plug; providing a second capacitive coupling positioned a second time delay away from the first capacitive coupling, the second capacitive coupling having generally the same magnitude but an opposite polarity as compared to the first capacitive coupling; providing a third capacitive coupling positioned a third time delay away from the second capacitive coupling, the third capacitive coupling having the same polarity and generally the same magnitude as the capacitive coupling of the plug; positioning the first, second and third capacitive couplings such that the first and second time delays are generally equal and the second time delay is different from the first and third time delays.
