main capacitive coupling portion of the fext crosstalk zone is created by capacitor plates which are an integral part of the pcb and which are connected by conductors to the current carrying conductors in the above described inductive coupling portion the connecting conductors are connected at a selected location and are of a selected length to insure the phase angle displacement from the plug jack contact interface is equal for l fcz and c fcz the polarity of this capacitive coupling is negative the same as the couplings in the plug the magnitude of c c is such that c c u2212 c l c fcz equivalent to magnitude of l fcz in pf referring to fig2 fext is the signal from any coupling that travels to the cable connection to the jack thus all such signals from distributed couplings are in phase regardless of their location the phase angle of the signal from each remote coupling is however dependent on the distance to and from the remote coupling to the current carrying conductors again referring to fig4 as compared to fig3 the net plug vector is reduced in magnitude the net jack contact vector is reduced in magnitude the three components of the fext crosstalk zone no longer add up to zero they are.
