Compensation networks and communication connectors using said compensation networks

摘要

The present invention generally relates to the field of network communication, and more specifically to networks for crosstalk reduction/compensation and communication connectors which employ such networks. In some embodiments, the present invention employs an orthogonal network implemented within a communication jack to compensate for crosstalk which occurs within a communication plug and at the plug/jack interface.

主权项

1. A communication connector, comprising:
plug interface contacts; cable connector contacts; and a circuitry connecting said plug interface contacts to respective said cable connector contacts, said circuitry including signal conductors between respective said plug interface contacts and respective said cable connector contacts, said signal conductors including a first signal pair and a second signal pair, said circuitry including a network with a first combined mutually inductive and capacitive coupling between a first conductor of said first signal pair and a first conductor of said second signal pair, said network further including a second combined mutually inductive and capacitive coupling between a second conductor of said first signal pair and said first conductor of said second signal pair, and a shunt capacitive coupling connecting said first conductor of said first signal pair and said second conductor of said first signal pair.
