Abstract

The present disclosure is related to a modular plug housing insert device that makes electrical contact to a telecommunication plug to complete an interface media connection. The positional relationship of the conductors in the modular plug housing insert device are arranged to form a capacitance, such that the Near-end Crosstalk (NEXT) and Far End Crosstalk (FEXT) are reduced without compromising impedance.

Claims (27)

1 . An insert for positioning in a data signal transmission media plug receiving space of a modular housing, comprising:

a dielectric support member having a plurality of pairs of electrically conductive elongated members, each elongated member having a contact portion exposed in the receiving space for making electrical contact with a media plug contact, a curved portion and a rear portion, wherein the plurality of pairs of elongated members are angled and disposed on the support member in positional relationships with respect to each other such that a capacitance is formed for compensating electrical noise during transmission of a signal.

2 . An insert as recited in claim 1 , wherein the plurality of pairs of elongated members have substantially multilaterally symmetrical portions and substantially multilaterally asymmetrical portions.

3 . An insert as recited in claim 2 , wherein the contact portions are substantially multilaterally symmetrical and the rear portions are substantially multilaterally asymmetrical.

4 . An insert as recited in claim 1 , wherein the contact portions are substantially parallel.

5 . An insert as recited in claim 1 , wherein each pair of the plurality of pairs of elongated members include a ring member and a tip member.

6 . An insert as recited in claim 5 , wherein there are four pairs of electrically conductive elongated members.

7 . An insert as recited in claim 1 , wherein at least two of the elongated members have rear portions which are directed away from each other.

8 . An insert as recited in claim 1 , wherein the rear portions extend from the support member.

9 . An insert in a modular jack for receiving and compensating a signal transmitted through the eight leads from a standard RJ45 wire plug, comprising:

a dielectric support member; and

eight elongated conductive elements disposed on the support member, each element having a contact portion for establishing electrical contact with one of the eight leads, and a rear portion extending from the support member connecting another signal transmission device, wherein the elements are in a positional relationship with respect to each other for forming a capacitance to compensate electrical noise during transmission of the signal.

10 . An insert as recited in claim 9 , wherein the contact portions of the eight conductive elements are in a substantially parallel positional relationship along a longitudinal axis.

11 . An insert as recited in claim 10 , wherein the rear portions include parallel portions and transverse portions with respect to the longitudinal axis.

12 . An insert as recited in claim 9 , further comprising an arcuate portion between the rear and contact portions.

13 . An insert as recited in claim 9 , wherein four of the eight conductive elements are ring voltage and the other four of the eight conductive elements are tip voltage.

14 . An insert as recited in claim 13 , wherein the ring elements are disposed in a first row and the tip elements are disposed in a second row on the support member, wherein the first row connecting devices are below the second row connecting devices.

15 . A system for compensating cross-talk noise in an electrical signal, comprising:

a printed circuit board with at least one front terminal and at least one rear terminal for connecting with electrically conductive media;

a dielectric modular jack housing having a signal transmission media receiving space for signal transmission media and a plurality of conductive leads; and

a plurality of pairs of elongated conductors disposed in the signal transmission media receiving space, each elongated conductor of the plurality of elongated conductors having a contact portion for engaging the plurality of conductive leads and a back end portion including an extending portion for connecting with the front terminal on the printed circuit board;

wherein the plurality of pairs of elongated conductors are in a positional relationship with respect to each other to form a capacitance for compensating electrical noise in a signal transmission.

16 . A system as recited in claim 15 , wherein the contact portions are substantially parallel with respect to each other along a longitudinal axis.

17 . A system as in claim 16 , wherein the back end portions are partially parallel and partially transverse with respect to the axis.

18 . A system as in claim 15 , wherein there are four pairs of elongated conductors.

19 . A system as in claim 15 , further comprising a curved portion between the contact and back end portions.

20 . A system as in claim 15 , wherein the electrically conductive media comprises an untwisted pair cable.
