Patent ID: 8403709

Claim:
A telecommunications device adapted to receive a plug, the telecommunications device having a compensation arrangement that compensates for cross talk generated at the plug, the telecommunications device comprising: a housing defining a port for receiving the plug; first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth consecutively arranged contact springs adapted to make electrical contact with the plug when the plug is inserted into the port of the housing; first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth wire termination contacts for terminating wires to the device; a circuit board including first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth conductive paths that respectively electrically connect the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth contact springs to the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth wire termination contacts, wherein the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth conductive paths form a plurality of differential pairs, the fourth and fifth conductive paths forming one of the plurality of differential pairs; and the circuit board also including first and second capacitor members for providing a first capacitive coupling applied between and therefore electrically connected to both the fourth and fifth conductive paths, the first capacitive coupling being applied to and therefore electrically connected to both the fourth and fifth conductive paths adjacent the fourth and fifth wire termination contacts.
