Abstract: 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.
