The present disclosure relates to a telecommunications jack including a
housing having a port for receiving a plug. The jack also includes a
plurality of contact springs adapted to make electrical contact with the
plug when the plug is inserted into the port of the housing, and a
plurality of wire termination contacts for terminating wires to the jack.
The jack further includes a circuit board that electrically connects the
contact springs to the wire termination contacts. The circuit board
includes first and second conductive layers separated by a relatively
thin dielectric layer. The first and second conductive layers include a
crosstalk compensation arrangement having spaced-apart capacitor members.
The relatively thin dielectric layer allows a high level of capacitance
to be generated between the capacitor members.
