[0002] RJ45 connection is the current standard device for Ethernet connection interface, and is widely used in Ethernet cards, routers, switches and other network products. With the increase of transmission speed and frequency, return loss, characteristic impedance and crosstalk have become the primary issues restricting its development. The competition for miniaturization of electronic equipment is becoming more and more fierce, and the network interface part has also been optimized in structure to reduce the space occupied.

[0003] The terminals of the existing RJ45 connector are designed to be evenly arranged horizontally. At this time, the degree of coupling between the terminals is relatively large, and the mutual inductance and mutual capacitance between the signal lines can easily cause an increase in noise on the lines, which increases near-end crosstalk. At the same time, the terminals only resist each other through their own elasticity. Long-term use can easily cause the connection to be not tight enough, and faults are prone to occur during signal transmission. Summary of the invention
