APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CROSS-TALK REDUCTION

摘要

APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CROSS-TALK REDUCTION An electrical connector assembly connects plural sets of discrete electrical conductors arranged in plural pairs. A first set of conductors is terminated in a first connector. A second connector supports electrical contacts therein and is adapted to receive the first connector for effecting electrical connection between the first set of contacts and the electrical contacts of the second connector. A printed circuit board (PCB) is adapted to accommodate the contacts of the second connector. Conductive traces on the PCB electrically connect the contacts to the first set of conductors. The PCB includes capacitance connecting selected PCB traces to one another to effect a reduction in cross talk interference as between the plural pairs of conductors.
