1. A telecommunications jack for use in a twisted pair system, the jack comprising:
a housing defining a port for receiving a plug;
a plurality of contact springs adapted to make electrical contact with the plug when the plug is inserted into the port of the housing;
a plurality of wire termination contacts for terminating wires to the jack;
a circuit board including conductive tracks that electrically connect the contact springs to the wire termination contacts, the circuit board having a first side and an opposite second side, wherein the plurality of contact springs extend from the first side of the circuit board and the plurality of wire termination contacts extend from the second side of the circuit board; and
means for crosstalk compensation between selected tracks of the circuit board including asymmetric capacitive coupling between a first wire pair and a second wire pair.
