A connector for compensating alien crosstalk, the connector comprising:
- a printed circuit board (PCB);
- a plurality of pairs of contacts on the PCB;
- a plurality of pads disposed at edge portions of the PCB, for compensating alien crosstalk;
- and
- a plurality of connecting parts for connecting electrically the pads to the pairs of contacts.
A connector for compensating alien crosstalk, the connector comprising:
- a printed circuit board (PCB);
- a plurality of pairs of contacts on the PCB;
- and
- compensation means for compensating alien crosstalk, the compensation means automatically adjusting an amount of alien crosstalk compensation provided according to an amount of alien crosstalk present.
A compensation mechanism usable in a connector, for compensating alien crosstalk, the connector including a printed circuit board (PCB) and a plurality of pairs of contacts on the PCB, the mechanism comprising:
- a plurality of pads disposed at edge portions of the PCB;
- and
- a plurality of connecting parts for connecting electrically the pads to the pairs of contacts.
A compensating connector for compensating alien crosstalk with respect to an adjacently placed connector, the compensating connector comprising:
- a printed circuit board (PCB);
- a plurality of pairs of contacts on the PCB;
- a plurality of conductive pads disposed at edge portions of the PCB so as to create compensating capacitance with respect to the adjacently placed connector;
- and
- a plurality of connecting parts for connecting electrically the pads to the pairs of contacts.
