Abstract
An electrical connector system, comprising: an electrical connector; a plurality of wires extending from the connector and arranged in a plurality of twisted pairs; and an insert separating the wires defining each of the twisted pairs. A method of reducing cross-talk in an electrical connector system that produces an unwanted cross-talk, comprising the steps of: providing an electrical connector with a plurality of wires extending therefrom and arranged in a plurality of twisted pairs; providing an insert; placing the insert between the wires defining each of the twisted pairs. The insert causes the wires to produce a compensating cross-talk that offsets the unwanted cross-talk. A method of using an electrical connector that exhibits an acceptable level of cross-talk within a desired frequency range, comprising the steps of: providing an electrical connector system that is unable to exhibit the acceptable level of cross-talk within the desired frequency range, the system including: an electrical connector; and a plurality of wires extending from the connector and arranged in a plurality of twisted pairs; separating the wires defining each of the twisted pairs; and operating the connector system within the desired frequency range. As a result, the connector system exhibits the desired level of cross-talk.
