A telecommunications connector includes first and second pairs of electrical conductors. The first and second pairs of conductors are arranged in one region of the connector such that one conductor of the first pair is selectively positioned to be closer to both of the conductors of the second pair than is the other conductor of the first pair, and such that the one conductor of the first pair couples a common mode signal of a first polarity onto the conductors of the second pair. In another region of the connector the other conductor of the first pair is selectively positioned to be closer to both of the conductors of the second pair to asymmetrically couple a common mode signal of a second polarity onto the conductors of the second pair.
