Abstract
Alien crosstalk suppression cores are used to decrease alien crosstalk in communications channels. Electrical communication cables may be provided with alien crosstalk suppression cores. The alien crosstalk suppression cores, which may be ferrite suppression cores, are placed separately on some or all of the twisted pairs within a communication cable. The alien crosstalk suppression cores reduce ANEXT and AFEXT in high-frequency communications when communication cables are installed near one another. Alien crosstalk suppression cores may also be incorporated into other communication channel components, such as on a PCB within a communication jack.
Claims2
A printed circuit board for use in a communications connector, said printed circuit board comprising:
- at least two pairs of conductive traces;
- and
- a first alien crosstalk suppressing film disposed proximate a first of said pairs of conductive traces;
- a second alien crosstalk suppressing film disposed proximate the first of said pairs of conductive traces on an opposite side of said printed circuit board from said first alien crosstalk suppressing film;
- and a pair of alien crosstalk suppression cores inserted through said printed circuit board between said first and second alien crosstalk suppressing films, thereby surrounding said first of said pairs of conductive traces to reduce alien crosstalk between communication channels.
