Abstract
Communications connectors include a plurality of input contacts that are arranged as differential pairs of input contacts, a plurality of first output contacts that are electrically connected to respective ones of the plurality of input contacts, and a first pair of second output contacts that are electrically connected by a pair of conductive paths to one of the differential pairs of input contacts. The first output contacts are configured to physically contact respective ones of a plurality of first contacts of a second communications connector. Moreover, each contact of the first pair of second output contacts is electrically in parallel to a respective one of the first output contacts when the communications connector is mated with the second communications connector.
