A telecommunications system comprising: a first printed circuit board associated with a first port, the first printed circuit board having first plated through holes for receiving first insulation displacement contacts associated with a first connecting block and first traces on the first printed circuit board; a second printed circuit board associated with a second port, the second printed circuit board having second plated through holes for receiving second insulation displacement contacts associated with a second connecting block and second traces on the second printed circuit board; wherein one of the first plated through holes, second plated through holes, first traces and second traces is positioned to reduce alien crosstalk between the first port and the second port.

Telecommunications components having reduced alien crosstalk

A patch panel includes a first outlet having a first connecting block; a second outlet having a second connecting block, the second connecting block positioned adjacent to the first connecting block; a conductive shield positioned between the first connecting block and the second connecting block to reduce alien crosstalk.
