## Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a telecommunications jack including a housing having a port for receiving a plug. The jack also includes a plurality of contact springs adapted to make electrical contact with the plug when the plug is inserted into the port of the housing, and a plurality of wire termination contacts for terminating wires to the jack. The jack further includes a circuit board that electrically connects the contact springs to the wire termination contacts. The circuit board includes a multi-zone crosstalk compensation arrangement for reducing crosstalk at the jack.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A telecommunications device comprising:
a housing defining a port for receiving a plug;
a plurality of contact springs adapted to make electrical contact with the plug when the plug is inserted into the port of the housing;
a plurality of wire termination contacts for terminating wires to the device;
a circuit board that electrically connects the contact springs to the wire termination contacts, the circuit board including first and second conductive layers separated by a dielectric layer; and
the first and second conductive layers including a cross talk compensation arrangement including first and second capacitor plates for providing a capacitive coupling, the first and second capacitor plates opposing one another and being separated by the dielectric layer, the first capacitor plate being larger than the second capacitor plate.
