Method and systems for minimizing alien crosstalk between connectors

The present invention relates to methods and systems for minimizing alien crosstalk between connectors. Specifically, an apparatus for reducing crosstalk in the form of a termination cap for a connector is disclosed. The cap is manufactured of a material configured to minimize transmission of electrical signal away from its intended path. The cap is constructed to fit about a jack that includes a port for receiving a plug, spring contacts for making electrical contact with the plug, and insulation displacement contacts housed in an insulation displacement contact housing. The cap is constructed to form a shield structure along a top, a back, and two sides of the insulation displacement contact housing.
