Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to an arrangement of at least two contact pairs (1, 2; 3, 4) for compensation of near-end crosstalk, in which one or both contacts (1, 2 or 3, 4) of a contact pair (1, 2; 3, 4) are designed to be angled away once or more than once from a contact region (5), with the result that the contacts (1, 2 and 3, 4) then run parallel once more and the distance between the contacts (1, 3 and 2, 4) of different contact pairs is designed such that crosstalk which is in antiphase with the contact region (5) is produced.

Dependent Claim
94 words

Claim 9
Dependent Claim
100 words
An arrangement of at least two contact pairs, comprising: a contact region formed by individual contacts of the contact pairs: at least one contact of a contact pair having an angled away portion, angled away at least once from the contact region; a parallel run region provided after said angled away portion; and a distance between the contacts of different contact pairs in said parallel run region being set to provide crosstalk which is in antiphase with crosstalk of said contact region, wherein the contacts of each contact pair are designed to be equidirectional and parallel in the contact region.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
100 words
An arrangement of at least two contact pairs, comprising: a contact region formed by individual contacts of the contact pairs: at least one contact of a contact pair having an angled away portion, angled away at least once from the contact region; a parallel run region provided after said angled away portion; and a distance between the contacts of different contact pairs in said parallel run region being set to provide crosstalk which is in antiphase with crosstalk of said contact region, wherein the contacts of each contact pair are designed to be equidirectional and parallel in the contact region.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
102 words
An arrangement of at least two contact pairs, comprising: a contact region formed by individual contacts of the contact pairs; at least one contact of a contact pair having an angled away portion, angled away at least once from the contact region; a parallel run region provided after said angled away portion, and a distance between the contacts of different contact pairs in said parallel run region set to provide crosstalk which is in antiphase with crosstalk of said contact region, wherein the contacts of the contact pair are arranged to be parallel and in mutually opposite directions in the contact region.
