Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An apparatus and method for crosstalk compensation in a jack of a modular communications connector includes a flexible printed circuit board connected to jack contacts and to connections to a network cable. The flexible printed circuit board includes conductive traces arranged as one or more couplings to provide crosstalk compensation.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A communication jack configured to receive a plug to form a communication connection, comprising: a plurality of jack contacts, the plurality of jack contacts at least partially disposed within a plug receiving cavity in the jack, wherein each contact has at least a first surface and a second surface, wherein, the first surface is an upper surface and the second surface is a lower surface, wherein, upon the plug being received by the jack, a plurality of plug contacts interface with the first surface only of the plurality of jack contacts; and a flexible printed circuit at least partially contained within the plug receiving cavity and electrically and mechanically connected to at least one pair of the plurality of jack contacts approximate to the interface of the plug contacts and the plurality of jack contacts, and wherein the flexible printed circuit is electrically and mechanically connected to the at least one pair of the plurality of jack contacts at the second surface only of the jack contacts. 2. The communication jack of claim 1 wherein the flexible printed circuit is connected to the at least one pair of the plurality of jack contacts via flexible members of the flexible printed circuit.
