Patent ID: 7220149

Claim:
A communications plug, comprising: a mounting substrate; a plurality of pairs of output terminals, wherein first, second and fourth pairs of the output terminals are arranged in immediately adjacent relationship, and wherein a third pair of output terminals includes output terminals that are separated from each other such that a first output terminal of the third pair is positioned between the first and second pairs of output terminals, and such that a second output terminal of the third pair is positioned between the first and fourth pairs of output terminals; first, second, third and fourth pairs of conductors that engage the mounting substrate, each of which is attached for electrical communication with a respective one of the output terminals; wherein the third pair of conductors has at least two locations in which the conductors of the pair cross each other, and wherein the third pair of conductors is arranged such that, between the crossover locations, the third pair of conductors forms an expanded loop that brings segments of the third conductor into closer proximity to the second and fourth pairs of conductors than to the first pair of conductors.
