Problems solved by technology

[0007] While methods are available that can substantially reduce the effects of crosstalk within a communications cable segment, communications connector configurations adopted many years ago—which are still practiced in order to maintain backward compatibility—generally do not place contact structures designed to minimize crosstalk between differential pairs in the connector hardware

Embodiment Construction

[0040] The present invention is directed to communication plugs such as RJ-45 plugs. As used herein, the terms "forward" and "forward" and their derivatives refer to the portion of the plug that is first received within the plug bore of the jack when the plug is mated with the jack. The vector defining the direction of extension. In contrast, the terms "rearward" and "rear" and their derivatives refer to the direction diametrically opposite to the forward direction. The forward and rearward directions define the longitudinal dimension of the plug. A vector extending from the center of the plug towards the corresponding sidewall of the plug housing defines the transverse (or lateral) dimension of the plug. The horizontal dimension is perpendicular to the vertical dimension. A vector extending from the center of the plug toward the respective top and bottom walls of the plug housing (where the top wall of the plug housing is the wall that includes the slots exposing the plug ...

Abstract

Patch cords include a communications cable that has a first conductor and a second conductor that form a first differential pair, and a third conductor and a fourth conductor that form a second differential pair and a plug that is attached to the communications cable. The plug includes a housing that receives the communications cable, first through fourth plug contacts that are within the housing, and a printed circuit board. The printed circuit board includes first through fourth conductive paths that connect the respective first through fourth conductors to respective ones of the first through fourth plug contacts. The plug further includes a first conductive shield that extends above a top surface of the printed circuit board that is disposed between the first differential pair and the second differential pair.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to communication connectors and, more particularly, to communication plugs, such as RJ-45 plugs, that can support high data rate communications. Background technique [0002] Many hardwired communication systems use plug and jack connectors to connect a communication cable to another communication cable or to a computer device. For example, high speed communication systems routinely use such plug and jack connectors to connect computers, printers and other devices to local area networks and / or external networks such as the Internet. FIG. 1 depicts a highly simplified example of such a hardwired high-speed communication system, illustrating how plug and jack connectors may be used to interconnect a computer 11 to, for example, a network server 20 . [0003] As shown in FIG. 1 , a computer 11 is connected by a cable 12 to a communication jack 15 mounted in a wall plate 19 . The cable 12 is a patch cord comprising...
