COMMUNICATION PLUG HAVING CONSISTENT AND SET LEVELS OF COMPLEMENTARY CROSSTALK

摘要

A communication plug that generates crosstalk, at a predetermined level, th at complements the compensating crosstalk in a legacy jack or connector. The communication plug includes an electrical connector assembly comprising a plurality of conductive blades. Each conductive blade is adapted to make electrical conta ct with an insulated conducting wire and with a jack spring contact. At least two of th e conductive blades are configured so as to cross over each other without making electric al contact. Complementary crosstalk is generated between the conductive blades in the region where the blades engage the jack spring wires or terminals thus minimizing t he propagation delay between the crosstalk signals generated in the plug and th e crosstalk signals generated in the jack or connector.
