A communications connector includes: a dielectric mounting substrate; a
plurality of conductors mounted in the mounting substrate; and a wiring
board. Each of the conductors includes a fixed end portion mounted in the
mounting substrate and a free end portion, each of the free end portions
being positioned in side-by-side and generally parallel relationship, and
each of the fixed end portions being positioned in side-by side and
generally parallel relationship. The wiring board is positioned between
the fixed and free end portions of the conductors, the wiring board being
generally perpendicular to the conductors, the wiring board including
first and second conductive traces that are electrically insulated from
each other. First and second conductors are electrically connected with
the first and second traces. The first and second conductive traces are
arranged on the wiring board to create a crossover between the first and
second conductors.
