Alien next compensation for adjacently placed connectors

摘要

The connector has multiple pair of contacts that are disposed on a printed circuit board (PCB). Multiple compensation pads (30) are disposed at edge portions of the PCB, for compensating alien crosstalk. Multiple connecting parts electrically connect the pads with the contacts. The pads from the two adjacently placed connectors create compensating capacitance/crosstalk which then cancels the crosstalk between the connectors. An independent claim is also included for a compensation mechanism that is usable in a connector, for compensating alien crosstalk comprising a printed circuit board (PCB).
