Abstract
An electrical-connector system includes an electrical connector having a plurality of upper signal contacts arranged in at least two rows of vertically-aligned pairs. A plurality of tails electrically couple the upper signal contacts to a circuit substrate. The upper tails have a predetermined length and are spaced apart by one or more predetermined distances so that the upper tails produce a compensating cross-talk. The compensating cross-talk offsets a cross-talk produced by the upper signal contacts. The electrical-connector system also includes a plurality of lower signal contacts electrically coupled to the substrate. The lower signal contacts are substantially located between the upper signal contacts and the circuit substrate.
