Electrical connector assembly

A method of providing a tuned electrical connector assembly comprising:

• providing a crosstalk-canceling mating connector that produces a quantity of canceling crosstalk;
• and
• providing an electrical connector by:
• configuring a plurality of pins in a connector body so that the plurality of pins match a preferred arrangement of pins of the mating connector to form a preferred pin configuration;
• arranging a plurality of termination points in the connector body to match a preferred arrangement of a plurality of cable conductors to form a preferred termination point arrangement;
• connecting the plurality of pins in the preferred pin configuration to the plurality of termination points in the preferred termination point arrangement with a plurality of lead frame conductors, wherein the plurality of lead frame conductors comprise at least one crossover wherein at least two of the plurality of lead frame conductors physically cross one another while remaining electrically isolated;
• and
• tuning the at least one crossover to control a level of produced crosstalk which is produced in the electrical connector and which substantially matches and substantially cancels the quantity of canceling crosstalk produced by the crosstalk-canceling mating connector.
