MODULAR PLUG FOR HIGH SPEED DATA TRANSMISSION

摘要

A modular plug (10) comprises an insulative housing (12) and a plurality of contacts (14). The contacts (14) have a mating portion (16) and insulation piercing portion (24) similar to that of conventional modular plugs. The terminals (14) are further provided with capacitor plate portions (20) that are connected to the mating portions (16) via linking portions (22) that crossover that of an adjacent contact, for some of the terminals, in order to provide capacitive coupling between certain contacts. The capactitive coupling reduces cross talk.
