COMMUNICATIONS PLUGS AND PATCH CORDS WITH MODE CONVERSION CONTROL CIRCUITRY

摘要

Patch cords include a communications cable that has first through eighth conductors that are arranged as four twisted pairs and a plug attached thereto. The plug includes a housing that receives the cable, first through eighth plug contacts, and a printed circuit board that includes first through eighth conductive paths that connect the first through eighth conductors to the respective first through eighth plug contacts. The plug further includes a first crosstalk injection circuit between the second conductive path and the sixth conductive path and a second crosstalk injection circuit between the first conductive path and the sixth conductive path.

1. A communications plug that has first through eighth conductive paths, the plug comprising:
a housing; first through eighth contacts that are at least partially within the housing and that are electrically connected to the respective first through eighth conductive paths; and a resistor that is electrically coupled in series between two of the first through eighth conductive paths.
