Category 8.1 PCB Jack
The need for a 2 gigahertz broadband I/O connector for Category 8.1 was met with a different approach to manufacturing.
Traditionally, RJ45 jacks were manufactured using a wire or stamped lead frames to connect the input to output pins of the jack. In our patent pending design, we used a multi layer PCB to connect input to output. The ground layers in the PCB are used for isolation of critical pairs for crosstalk reduction while allowing space to add compensation circuits to tune electrical parameters. Compensation can now be closer to the source of the signals, allowing a broader bandwidth. This is not possible with traditional manufacturing technologies.
