Abstract
A connector module for mounting on a circuit board includes a housing and at least one plug-receiving opening for receiving an RJ-45 or other similar jack. Each plug-receiving opening includes contact portions that make electrical contact with individual conductors, e.g., twisted pair conductors, connected to the RJ-45 jack. A plurality of connection pins protrude from a bottom surface of the housing and facilitate mounting of the modular connector onto the circuit board. Protection/filtering circuitry, located within vertical space inside of the housing so as to reside adjacent the connection pins, electrically couples and minimizes the electrical distance between the contact portions associated with each plug-receiving opening and the plurality of connection pins. The protection/filtering circuitry includes at least one ring-shaped ferrite core. Light emitting diodes may also be included as an integral part of the module, but are mounted for viewing so as to be outside of the shielded portions of the module.
