Patent ID: 7841909

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: positioning a first capacitive coupling 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; positioning a second capacitive coupling at a second time delay from the first capacitive coupling, the second time delay corresponding to an average time delay that optimizes near end crosstalk, the second capacitive coupling having generally the same overall magnitude but an opposite polarity as compared to the first capacitive coupling, and including two capacitive elements spaced at different time delays from the first capacitive coupling, wherein the different time delays of the two capacitive elements in the second capacitive coupling are centered about the average time delay to optimize near end crosstalk and are spaced apart to compensate for far end crosstalk.
