Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and systems for minimizing alien crosstalk between connectors. Specifically, the methods and systems relate to isolation and compensation techniques for minimizing alien crosstalk between connectors for use with high-speed data cabling. A frame can be configured to receive a number of connectors. Shield structures may be positioned to isolate at least a subset of the connectors from one another. The connectors can be positioned to move at least a subset of the connectors away from alignment with a common plane. A signal compensator may be configured to adjust a data signal to compensate for alien crosstalk. The connectors are configured to efficiently and accurately propagate high-speed data signals by, among other functions, minimizing alien crosstalk.

Abstract: A telecommunications device comprising a faceplate including at least two adjacent jack receptacles, the two adjacent jack receptacles positioned vertically and horizontally offset to each other and a jack mounted in at least one of the two jack receptacles, the jack defining a port in the front end for receiving a plug, the jack also defining spring contacts within the port for making electrical contact with the plug, the jack including insulation displacement contacts electrically connected to the spring contacts, the insulation displacement contacts configured to establish electrical contact with conductors of a cable. A cap manufactured of a material configured to minimize transmission of electrical signal away from its intended path fits about the jack to cover at least a portion of the outer surface defined by the insulation displacement contacts.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and systems for minimizing alien crosstalk between connectors. Specifically, an apparatus for reducing crosstalk in the form of a termination cap for a connector is disclosed. The cap is manufactured of a material configured to minimize transmission of electrical signal away from its intended path. The cap is constructed to fit about a jack that includes a port for receiving a plug, spring contacts for making electrical contact with the plug, and insulation displacement contacts housed in an insulation displacement contact housing. The cap is constructed to form a shield structure along a top, a back, and two sides of the insulation displacement contact housing.

Abstract: A modular jack, comprising a jack frame and terminal housing, for accepting one or more twisted pairs of conductors. Running through a base of the terminal housing are one or more wire management tunnels. Each of the tunnels has a first opening located within a first end of the terminal housing, a second opening located within a second end of the terminal housing, and a third opening located within a surface of the terminal housing from which extends a plurality of turrets. A twisted pair of conductors enters the wire management tunnel through either the first or second opening, and then travels through the wire management tunnel before exiting through said third opening. The twisted pair of conductors exiting the third opening then terminate within one or more slots defined by neighboring turrets.
