Abstract
Abstract An insert for a modular jack assembly insert comprising an insulative member having top and bottom walls; a front end and a rear recess; a first wire extending from adjacent the bottom wall of the insulative member across the rear recess to the top wall and then through the front end of the insulative member; and a second wire extending from adjacent the bottom wall of the insulative member across the rear recess in non-contacting, overlapping relation with the first wire. Also a modular jack assembly insert comprising an insulative member having a top and a bottom wall and a front end; a first wire extending in a first vertical plane from adjacent the bottom wall toward the top wall and then extend toward the front wall in a first horizontal plane; and a second wire extending in a second vertical plane from adjacent the bottom wall toward the top in a pattern such that at least two points on the second wire are in a common third vertical plane with two points on said first wire and then extends toward the front wall in a second horizontal plane. Surprising and unexpected reductions in electrical crosstalk are achieved with this insert.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
139 words
An insert for a modular jack assembly comprising: (a) an insulative member having a top wall and a bottom wall and a front end; (b) a first conductive means having a vertical leg extending in a first vertical plane from adjacent the bottom wall toward the top wall and then extending diagonally in said first vertical plane in a diagonal leg to a first upper point from where it extends in a horizontal leg toward the front end; and (c) a second conductive means having a vertical leg extending in a second vertical plane from adjacent the bottom wall toward the top wall further than the first upper point and then extending diagonally in a diagonal leg in the second vertical plane to a second upper point from where it extends in a horizontal leg toward the front end.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
139 words
An insert for a modular jack assembly comprising: (a) an insulative member having a top wall and a bottom wall and a front end; (b) a first conductive means having a vertical leg extending in a first vertical plane from adjacent the bottom wall toward the top wall and then extending diagonally in said first vertical plane in a diagonal leg to a first upper point from where it extends in a horizontal leg toward the front end; and (c) a second conductive means having a vertical leg extending in a second vertical plane from adjacent the bottom wall toward the top wall further than the first upper point and then extending diagonally in a diagonal leg in the second vertical plane to a second upper point from where it extends in a horizontal leg toward the front end.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
23 words
The modular jack assembly insert of claim 1 wherein vertical and diagonal legs of the first and second conductive means are not overlapping.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
23 words
The modular jack assembly insert of claim 2 wherein the diagonal leg of the first conductive means extends toward the second conductive means.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
42 words
The modular jack assembly insert of claim 2 wherein the diagonal leg of the second conductive means extends in a direction so that the horizontal leg of the second conductive means is superimposed over at least part of the first conductive means.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
35 words
The modular jack assembly insert of claim 4 wherein there is a third conductive means which extends from adjacent the bottom wall further than the first conductive means and then extends toward the front end.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
28 words
The modular jack assembly insert of claim 5 wherein the third conductive means extends from adjacent the bottom wall toward the top wall in the second vertical plane.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
145 words
An insert for a modular jack assembly comprising: (a) an insulative member having top and bottom walls, a front end and a rear recess; (b) a first conductive means extending from adjacent the bottom wall of the insulative member across the rear recess to the top wall and then through the front end of the member and said first conductive means has a vertical leg extending in a first vertical plane from adjacent the bottom wall toward the top wall and then extends diagonally in said first vertical plane in a diagonal leg to a first upper point from where it extends in a horizontal leg toward the front end; and (c) a second conductive means extending from adjacent the bottom wall of the insulative member across the rear recess in non-contacting relation with said first conductive means and extending beyond the first conductive means.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
145 words
An insert for a modular jack assembly comprising: (a) an insulative member having top and bottom walls, a front end and a rear recess; (b) a first conductive means extending from adjacent the bottom wall of the insulative member across the rear recess to the top wall and then through the front end of the member and said first conductive means has a vertical leg extending in a first vertical plane from adjacent the bottom wall toward the top wall and then extends diagonally in said first vertical plane in a diagonal leg to a first upper point from where it extends in a horizontal leg toward the front end; and (c) a second conductive means extending from adjacent the bottom wall of the insulative member across the rear recess in non-contacting relation with said first conductive means and extending beyond the first conductive means.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
55 words
