Communication connector with capacitor label
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A capacitor label for a communication connector having a plurality of contact pairs disposed in a substantially parallel array for conductive connection to respective communication signal wire pairs, comprising:
- capacitor means formed on the capacitor label for capacitively coupling a first contact of one contact pair to a second contact of a second contact pair; and
a common conductive lamina disposed closely adjacent to an outer insulating surface of the capacitor label, the common conductive lamina being of sufficient extent to extend across and along the contact array of the contact pairs such that crosstalk is reduced between the contact pairs.

Abstract
A communication connector having a plurality of contact pairs for conductive connection to respective communication signal wire pairs is provided with a capacitor label that capacitively couples a first contact of one contact pair to a second contact of a second contact pair to reduce near end cross talk between adjacent contacts. A common conductive lamina disposed closely adjacent to and spaced from more than one of the contacts further improves near end cross talk performance of the communication connector.
