Mick,
The statements your colleagues made are in general true about printed
circuit board striplines. They are not true about microstrips. They are
not necessarily true about connectors. Depending on the design of the
connector, the electric and magnetic fields may not be well-balanced,
leading to nonzero forward crosstalk.
The big difference between striplines and connectors is that the
transverse electromagnetic mode is present in the stripline but typically
breaks down when it encounters the connector. In the transverse
electromagnetic mode, the electric and magnetic field vectors are
perpendicular to each other and to the direction of propagation. When the
TEM wave moves into the connector, the electric and magnetic field lines
are not necessarily perpendicular to each other anymore, although each one
by itself is still perpendicular to the direction of propagation.

Subject: [SI-LIST] general belief about Xtalk
From: Mick zhou <mick.zhou@xxxxxxxxx>
Hi,
Recently, I run into some basic beliefs about Xtalk from my colleagues.
They
seem match intuiations but may not be right.
Statement 1: Single-ended near-end Xtalk is always greater than far-end
Xtalk, both in f and t domains.
Statement 2: Differential/Common near-end Xtalk is always greater than the
far-end, both in f and t domains.
I do not remember any general proofs of the above statements. They may be
true for many practical cases but may not be generally true. One example
in
S. H. Hall's book, p.50. disproves the statement 1 in t-domain.
Any more helps?
Mick
