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

(1/1)

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.

Jwillis:
Plate capacitor etched into PCB.Value will be very small.
