One method includes manufacturing a circuit board having a zone of crosstalk compensation between a first wire pair and a second wire pair, the zone of crosstalk compensation including a capacitive coupling connected between the first wire pair and the second wire pair and a second capacitive coupling selectively connectable in parallel with the capacitive coupling. The method further includes determining a crosstalk value generated by the jack including the manufactured circuit board. The method also includes, upon determining that the crosstalk value is outside of a crosstalk pass band, adjusting the zone of crosstalk compensation by altering an electrical connection between the second capacitive coupling and the capacitive coupling after the circuit board has been manufactured.

According to one method, the crosstalk compensation is adapted to compensate for undesired crosstalk generated at a capacitive coupling located at a plug inserted within the jack. The method includes positioning a first capacitive coupling a first time delay away from the capacitive coupling of the plug, the first capacitive coupling having a greater magnitude and an opposite polarity as compared to the capacitive coupling of the plug. The method also includes positioning a second capacitive coupling at a second time delay from the first capacitive coupling, the second time delay corresponding to an average time delay that optimizes near end crosstalk. The second capacitive coupling has generally the same overall magnitude but an opposite polarity as compared to the first capacitive coupling, and includes two capacitive elements spaced at different time delays from the first capacitive coupling.

A broadband over power line housing which allows coupling between power lines and a broadband signal system. Cables enter and exit from a first housing portion. Connection circuitry is housed in a second housing unit selectively connectable to the first housing unit. A latch provides the selective connection, and includes three positions: a first latched position wherein the circuitry within the first and second housing units is electrically connected; a second latched position wherein the circuitry is disconnected; and a disconnected position where the first and second housing portions can be separated from one another. In one embodiment, the latch is operated with a hook stick between the first and second positions, allowing an operator to engage or disengage the circuitry from the ground. A visual indicator may be provided to indicate to the operator when the housing is in the latched and electrically disconnected state.
