Patent ID: 7474737

Claim:
A set of telecommunications test plugs for use with twisted pair cable having N wires arranged in N/2 pairs, the set of telecommunications test plugs comprising: a first plug housing; a first plug board contained within the first plug housing, the first plug board including: a plurality of wire connection points, each for establishing electrical connection with one of said N wires; a plurality of contact pads; a plurality of circuit traces including primary circuit traces establishing electrical connection between the wire connection points and the contact pads; said circuit traces being positioned to establish first predefined near end crosstalk between at least two of said pairs, said first predefined near end crosstalk being at a first level of a first defined range; and a plurality of electrical contacts in electrical connection with the contact pads, the electrical contacts extending through slots for in the first plug housing, the electrical contacts for making electrical contact with pins in an outlet; a second plug housing; a second plug board contained within the second plug housing, the second plug board including: a plurality of wire connection points, each for establishing electrical connection with one of said N wires; a plurality of contact pads; a plurality of circuit traces including primary circuit traces establishing electrical connection between the wire connection points and the contact pads; said circuit traces being positioned to establish second predefined near end crosstalk between said at least two of said pairs, said second predefined near end crosstalk being at a second level of a second defined range, said second level being higher than said first level.
