| whats the purpose of these fork-like tracks (capacitance?)? |

| amon2_0:
I opened up a RJ45 gender changer (female to female) to find this pcb inside. Does anybody know the purpose of these interchanging, fork-like tracks? I have seen similar spark gaps but not with a soldermask. Is it some sort of very small capacitance? |
| mikerj:
Looks like capacitors. At a guess it would be to minimise any impedance discontinuity in the cable. |

Plate capacitor etched into PCB.Value will be very small. |
