  • Communication connector to optimize crosstalk
    Publication number: 20070105426
    Abstract: A connector for a communications system provides desired levels of crosstalk by controlling the positions and lengths of the wires. The connector has an internal chamber opening on the rear end of the plug housing and defined by housing walls. A plurality of slots extend through one of the housing walls adjacent its front end and into the internal chamber. A plurality of insulation displacement contacts are mounted in the slots for movement between retracted positions and inserted positions extending into the internal chamber. A first insert is disposed in the internal chamber. The first insert has a front end proximal the front end of the plug housing. A first passageway extends from the front end of the first insert to the rear end of the first insert. A plurality of openings in a first insert wall adjacent the front end are aligned with the plurality of slots in the plug housing and extend into the first passageway.
