(57) A delay compensated jack (40) is disclosed having a jack body (42) with first (52),
second (53) and third ports (46). A first signal pathway (E) is provided for electrically
connecting a first cable and a second cable where said first and second cables are
connected to said first and second ports, respectively. A second signal pathway (F)
is provided for electrically connecting a first cable and a third cable when said
first and third cables are connected to said first and third ports, respectively.
Said first signal pathway includes a circuit member (68) selected to induce a pre-determined
signal compensation into a signal passing through the first pathway. A switch mechanism
(156) is provided for opening the first pathway when the third cable is connected
to the third port.
