1. An apparatus for maintaining cross talk noise in each of a plurality of different zones in a twisted conductor pair cable connector below a predetermined cross-talk threshold comprising:
a cable mating zone that includes a first interface and a first set of contact pairs each configured to electrically engage a respective twisted pair of cable conductors so as to prevent cable mating zone cross talk noise in the cable mating zone from exceeding a predetermined cross talk noise threshold;
a device mating zone that includes a second interface and a second set of contact pairs each configured to electrically engage a respective pair of device contacts so as to prevent device mating zone cross talk noise in the device mating zone from exceeding the predetermined cross talk noise threshold;
an intermediate transmission zone configured to electrically connect each of the first set of contact pairs with a respective one of the second set of contact pairs so as to prevent intermediate transmission zone cross talk noise in the intermediate transmission zone from exceeding the predetermined cross talk noise threshold; and
wherein the cable mating zone cross talk noise, the device mating zone cross talk noise, and the intermediate transmission zone cross talk noise are different from one another such that the cable mating zone, the device mating zone, and the intermediate transmission zone are each configured to operate differently so as to prevent each of the different cable mating zone cross talk noise, device mating cross talk noise, and intermediate transmission cross talk noise from exceeding the predetermined cross talk noise threshold.
