1. A telecommunications connector comprising:

  • a plurality of electrical conductors arranged in differential pairs;

    a circuit board having a plurality of conductive layers, the plurality of conductive layers including a first conductive layer, a second conductive layer and a third conductive layer, the second conductive layer being positioned between the first and third conductive layers;

    a cross-talk compensation arrangement for applying capacitance between at least some of the electrical conductors, the cross-talk compensation arrangement including a plurality of open-ended conductive paths that provide a first capacitive coupling at a first discrete capacitive coupling location at the first conductive layer and a second capacitive coupling at a second discrete capacitive coupling location at the third conductive layer; and

    the second conductive layer including a conductive plate positioned directly between the first and second discrete capacitive coupling locations, the conductive plate including a first surface that faces toward the first discrete capacitive coupling location and an opposite second surface that faces toward the second discrete capacitive coupling location.
