Abstract
A telecommunications connector () comprises an array of contacts () connectable to telecommunications wire pairs, the contacts being of a first type or a second type. The first type of contact is shaped so that its contact region (B) extends in a first direction and the second type of contact is shaped so that its contact region extends in an opposing direction. In an embodiment in the form of an RJ45 jack, to introduce crosstalk compensation, the contacts '' to '' in the inner zone of the array are alternately of the first and second types; and the contacts “” and “” of each pair in the remainder of the array are respectively of the same type but different from the adjacent contact in the inner zone.
