| 1. An electrical connector comprising:
a plurality of jack contacts; and
crosstalk compensation circuitry, the crosstalk compensation circuitry comprising first and second overlapping “U” shaped
traces, wherein each “U” shaped trace defines a first leg, a second leg, a base connecting the first and second legs, and
an open end opposite the base, the overlapping traces arranged such that the first leg of the first trace directly overlaps
the first leg of the second trace, the second leg of the first trace directly overlaps the second leg of the second trace,
and the open end of the first trace directly overlaps the base of the second trace.
