Abstract:
Disclosed herein are various communications systems allowing for multiple contacts points between plug contacts in a communications plug and plug interface contacts (PICs) in a communications jack. In some disclosed implementations, a communications plug including a first and a second plug contact mated with a communications jack having a first and a second plug PIC may form a plurality of plug/jack interfaces. The plug/jack interfaces may form multiple current paths between the communications plug and the communications jack. When a signal propagates between the communications plug and the communications jack, it may be split in the communications plug between a first current path and a second current path, and recombined in the communications jack after traveling through the plurality of plug/jack interfaces.

Claim (Index 17):
A communications system, comprising:\n a communications plug, comprising a first and a second plug contact; a communications jack, comprising a first and a second plug interface contact (PIC); wherein, when the communications plug and the communications jack are mated:\n the first plug contact and the first PIC are in contact at a first plug/jack interface, and the second plug contact and the second PIC are in contact at a second plug/jack interface; \n the first plug/jack interface forms a first current path between the communications plug and the communications jack, and the second plug/jack interface forms a second current path between the communications plug and the communications jack; and \n a signal propagating between the communications plug and the communications jack is split in the communications plug between the first current path and the second current path, and recombined in the communications jack after the first and the second plug/jack interfaces.
