1. A communication jack configured to receive a plug to form a communication connection, comprising:

  • a plurality of jack contacts, which consist of metal cantilever beams, disposed in the jack, wherein;

    each contact has at least a first surface and a second surface, wherein;

    upon the plug being received by the jack, a plurality of plug contacts interface with the first surface of the plurality of jack contacts; and

    a first capacitive coupling electrically connected between two pairs of the plurality of jack contacts to compensate for near end crosstalk, wherein;

    the first capacitive coupling is connected to the pairs of jack contacts along at least one of the second surfaces adjacent to where the plug contacts interface with the jack contacts.
