COMMUNICATION CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY WITH CROSSTALK COMPENSATION

摘要

A communication connector assembly has a wire board, and a number of elongated terminal contact wires extending in a generally horizontal direction with respect to the wire board. Each of the contact wires includes a free end portion for making electrical contact with a mating connector, the latter introducing offending crosstalk from a line of contact with the contact wires over a first region of the wires, and a base portion that connects each contact wire to the board, wherein the base portion projects generally normally of the board. At least one pair of adjacent contact wires has a cross-over section which demarcates a second region in which generally horizontal portions of the contact wires are coupled for crosstalk compensation. The base portions of the terminal contact wires enter the wire board in a pattern which is dimensioned and arranged to produce a third region wherein the base portions are also coupled for crosstalk compensation.
