ABSTRACT:
Systems and methods are disclosed for interfacing with high frequency data transfer media and, more particularly, modular jack housing insert assemblies, such as those that are used as interface connectors for unshielded twisted pair (“UTP”) media, that compensate for electrical noise. The insert generally includes (a) an insert housing member and (b) a plurality of lead frames supported at least in part by said insert housing member. Each of the lead frames generally includes a rear end portion and a front end portion. In addition, each of at least four of the plurality of lead frames typically includes a capacitive element in electrical communication with at least the front end portion of the respective lead frame. The four lead frames are in electrical communication with capacitive elements arranged in two pairs to define a first pair of capacitive element lead frames and a second pair of capacitive element lead frames. The first pair of capacitive element lead frames and the second pair of capacitive element lead frames are spaced apart by an angle of at least thirty degrees. Jack assemblies including the disclosed insert and associated methods for use thereof are also disclosed.
