Abstract
A telecommunications connector includes a plug having plug contacts; an outlet having outlet contacts, the plug contacts making physical and electrical contact with the outlet contacts on a top surface of the outlet contacts; a compensation contact positioned beneath a bottom surface of the outlet contacts, the compensation contact being proximate to a location where the plug contacts make physical contact with the outlet contacts, the compensation contact providing crosstalk compensation for the telecommunications connector.
Claims11
A telecommunications connector comprising:
- a plug having plug contacts;
- an outlet having outlet contacts, the plug contacts making physical and electrical contact with the outlet contacts on a top surface of the outlet contacts;
- a compensation contact positioned beneath a bottom surface of the outlet contacts, the compensation contact being proximate to a location where the plug contacts make physical contact with the outlet contacts, the compensation contact providing crosstalk compensation for the telecommunications connector;
- the outlet contacts and the compensation contact are physically supported on a printed circuit board in the outlet;
- wherein the compensation contact is a spring contact having one end secured to the printed circuit board and a second end in physical contact with an outlet contact.
