Abstract
A modular jack having means for filtering the signals on the conductors of the jack as a way of reducing noise. The filtering means preferably comprises one or more capacitor modules adapted to be in electrical contact with the conductors of the jack. More particularly, the capacitor modules may each comprise substrates having conductive traces arranged thereon, the size and location of the traces being selected to provide the desired capacitances. Portions of the traces are placed in electrical contact with the intermediate portions of the conductors in the jack.
