ABSTRACT:
Communications connectors having a plurality of signal carrying paths are provided that include a printed circuit board and a plurality of contacts. The printed circuit board includes a plurality of contact pads, a plurality of output terminals, and a plurality of conductive paths that connect at least some of the contact pads to respective ones of the output terminals. Each contact includes a plug contact region, a pad contact region, and a signal carrying segment that connects the plug contact region and the pad contact region. A first of the signal carrying paths extends from the plug contact region of a first of the contacts to a first of the output terminals. This signal carrying path includes the signal carrying segment of the first of the contacts, a first of the contact pads and a first of the conductive paths. Moreover, the signal carrying segment of the first of the contacts is staggered with respect to the signal carrying segment of another of the contacts that is directly adjacent to the first of the contacts.
