Abstract
This device includes two connection units and a compensation circuit provided with tracks (4D, 6D) for connecting these units and with capacitive coupling between at least two of the tracks, including a conductor element (36) exhibiting a surface (49) including a portion opposite a surface of a section of a first of the tracks (4D) and another opposite a section of the second of the tracks (6D) with the conductor element (36) which is electrically insulated from the two tracks (4D, 6D).

Local area network connection device, including two connection units (15A, 15B) and a compensation circuit (16) provided with connection points (1B-8B, 1C-8C) for contacts (1A-8A) of said connection units (15A, 15B) and conductive tracks (1D-8D) for connecting said connection points two-by-two, said circuit (16) including capacitive coupling means between at least a first of said conductive tracks (3D, 4D;
- 4D′;
- 4D″;
- 4D′″) and a second of said conductive tracks (5D, 6D;
- 6D′;
- 6D″;
- 6D′″);
- characterized in that said capacitive coupling means include a conductive element (36, 37, 40, 41;
- 36′, 51;
- 55;
- 63) electrically insulated from said first track (3D, 4D;
- 4D′;
- 4D″;
- 4D′″) and said second track (5D, 6D;
- 6D′;
- 6D″;
- 6D′″) while it features a surface (49;
- 66) including a portion facing, through a dielectric (35;
- 35′, 39′;
- 39″;
- 35′″), a surface with the same orientation of a section of the first track and another portion facing, through said dielectric (35;
- 35′;
- 39′;
- 39″;
- 35′″), a surface with the same orientation of a section of the second track.
