ABSTRACT:
A telecommunications connector includes a body having a first end to mate with a mating connector and a second end having an aperture. A plurality of connector elements have a connection portion to make electrical contact with individual wires from wire cables. In an exemplary embodiment, the individual wires are in the form of twisted pair cables. The connector elements also include a terminating portion to make electrical contact with the mating connector, and an elongated intermediate portion coupling the corresponding connection and terminating portions. The elongated intermediate portion minimizes the overall surface area of the electrical contacts thereby reducing the capacitance between individual ones of the connector elements. In addition, the connector elements are mounted in a low dielectric constant material to further reduce capacitance between individual ones of the connector elements. The connection portions of the connector elements are arranged in a first sequence to permit the twisted pair cables to remain twisted throughout the body of the connector to an area proximate the connection portion of the connector elements. The terminating portions of the connector elements are in a sequential arrangement different from the sequential arrangement of the connection portions of the connector elements to maintain an industry standard arrangement. The elongated intermediate portions of at least some of the connector elements extend laterally and cross over other connector elements to permit the terminating portions of the connector elements to conform to industry standards while permitting the twisted pair cables to remain in a twisted configuration for the length of the cable.
