Abstract

An equalizer includes a first resistor and a capacitor connected in parallel. The positive terminal of the capacitor is connected to a signal transmission line on a blah printed circuit board. The negative terminal of the capacitor is connected to ground through a second resistor. A connector including the equalizer and a printed circuit board including the connector are also provided.
