ABSTRACT:
Communications patching devices are provided that include a mounting frame and a first jack that is mounted to the mounting frame. The first jack has a plurality of input terminals, a plurality of output terminals and a printed circuit board that includes a plurality of conductive paths that each electrically connect a respective one of the input terminals to a respective one of the output terminals. The printed circuit board further includes a plurality of electronic static discharge circuits, each of which circuit provides a path for discharging static charges to ground. Related methods and RJ-45 jacks are also provided.
