Communications connectors having a plurality of signal carrying paths include a printed circuit board and a plurality of contacts. The printed circuit board has a plurality of contact pads, a plurality of output terminals, and a plurality of conductive paths that electrically connect at least some of the plurality of contact pads to respective ones of the plurality of output terminals. The contacts each have a plug contact region. In these connectors, a first of the plurality of signal carrying paths extends from the plug contact region of a first of the plurality of contacts to a first of the plurality of output terminals through a first of the contact pads and a first of the conductive paths.
