Capacitive crosstalk compensation arrangement for a communication connector

A communication connector arrangement has a contact wire support, and at least a first and a second pair of terminal contact wires with portions fixed on the support. Each pair of contact wires has contact portions for establishing electrical connections with a mating connector. A first leading portion of a first contact wire of the first pair, and a second leading portion of a second contact wire of the second pair, extend generally parallel to one another and are terminated at their ends by a capacitance element. Capacitive crosstalk compensation is thus produced at the contact portions of the terminal contact wires, when the latter are engaged by the mating connector. In a disclosed embodiment, the arrangement includes a jack frame joined with the contact wire support, and the terminal contact wires are positioned inside a connector opening in the jack frame to connect electrically with a plug connector when inserted in the connector opening in the frame.
