US Patent No. 10,103,493

Method of maintaining cross talk in different zones of an assembly for interconnecting a cable

A method of manufacturing a connector and assembly of a cabling category and comprising two mating zones connected by an intermediate zone. Each of the zones is manufactured such that Near End Cross Talk (NEXT) resulting from transmission of the high frequency signal across each zone is below a specified amount chosen such that NEXT introduced by a high frequency signal transmission between via all the zones is below a level as specified for the cabling category.

Matched High-Speed Interconnector Assembly

An assembly for use in a system comprising a plurality of pairs of conductors, and a plug/receptacle for terminating the cable at a rear end thereof, a plurality of evenly spaced terminal contacts/tines respectively exposed along a front of the plug body/within the receptacle, arranged in parallel, and a printed circuit board assembly comprising a plurality of pairs of traces interconnecting each conductor of the pairs of conductors with respective ones of the terminal contacts/tines. A center pair of the conductors is attached to a first pair of the terminal contacts/tines and a second pair of conductors is attached to a second pair of the terminal contacts/tines. The center pair of terminal contacts/tines is positioned between the second pair of contacts/tines wherein in operation a current flow in the center pair of terminal contacts/tines is in a direction substantially away from the second pair of terminal contacts/tines.
