Patent ID: 7938650

Claim:
A connector comprising: an inner structure divided into first, second, and third components, the first component including plug contacts disposed so as to form a circular plug face configured for connection to a mating connector; the second component including a connection block having connection contacts configured for connection of a data line connection and a respective receiving element electrically connected to each connection contact and configured to receive a wire of a data cable; and the third component including a printed circuit board disposed on an end face of the connection block to provide a connecting element between the connection block and the plug contacts, the printed circuit board configured to provide a signal transmission path between the plug contacts and the connection contacts of the connection block, the connection contacts extending outwardly from a surface of the printed circuit board and being secured in the printed circuit board, the printed circuit board including a plurality of layers in a sandwich configuration, the plurality of layers including layers having conductive trace alternating with layers having a dielectric, a first layer of the layers having a dielectric being disposed between a first and second layer of the layers having conductive trace so as to form a first parallel plate capacitor, a second layer of the layers having a dielectric being disposed between a third and fourth layer of the layers having trace so as to form a second parallel plate capacitor, a third layer of the layers having a dielectric being disposed between the first and second parallel plate capacitors, wherein at least one of the first and second layers having a dielectric is thinner than the third layer having a dielectric.
