ABSTRACT:
The present disclosure relates to a telecommunications jack including a housing having a port for receiving a plug. The jack also includes a plurality of contact springs adapted to make electrical contact with the plug when the plug is inserted into the port of the housing, and a plurality of wire termination contacts for terminating wires to the jack. The jack further includes a circuit board that electrically connects the contact springs to the wire termination contacts. The circuit board includes first and second conductive layers separated by a relatively thin dielectric layer. The first and second conductive layers include a crosstalk compensation arrangement having spaced-apart capacitor members. The relatively thin dielectric layer allows a high level of capacitance to be generated between the capacitor members.
