Abstract:
A magnetically coupled RJ-45 modular jack assembly for Ethernet applications including a coil pack comprised of a plurality of magnetic circuits. Various numbers of the magnetic circuits may be coupled together in series by way of a variety of wires which may then be soldered directly to a printed circuit board. In order to increase the robustness of the magnetic circuit connection, each group of magnetic circuits coupled together in series, may be encapsulated in an encapsulation material. Additionally, during encapsulation, numerous of the groups of magnet circuits may be encapsulated allowing a plurality of magnetic series to be grouped together further increasing the robustness of the magnetic circuits. Encapsulated coil sets (196, 198) may be fitted together (FIG. 10) and located in notch (190) in the printed circuit board.
Abstract:
A LAN interface module for a network on AC network has a housing. The housing has an AC jack, a network jack coupled by a network on AC conversion circuit to the AC jack, and an AC plug projecting outwardly therefrom configured to plug into an AC jack of a network device.
Abstract:
A LAN connector is connected with a LAN cable connector inserted thereinto. The LAN connector comprises a flexible portion formed outside a modem-cable-connector occupied space within a housing having a size accommodating the LAN cable connector being inserted thereinto, and a stopper portion formed within the modem-cable-connector occupied space. The stopper portion is displaceable together with the flexible portion. When the modem cable connector is inserted into the housing, the flexible portion is not pushed and bent by the modem cable connector, and the stopper portion stops the modem cable connector. When the LAN cable connector is inserted into the housing, the flexible portion is pushed and bent by the LAN cable connector so as to cause the stopper portion to be withdrawn out of the modem-cable-connector occupied space.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to provide a computing system comprises plurality of apparatii mounted on the wall or floor adjacent to or embedded inside the LAN jack or a main power outlet. The apparatii are connected at the back side through Ethernet cable, optical fiber or main lines to the building LAN and connected at the front side through cables or wirelessly to display, keyboard, mouse or other peripheral devices. In a typical embodiment of the present invention power to the computing apparatus is supplied through the LAN cable. Another embodiment of the present invention utilizes a wall or floor mounted housing part comprising of an integrated LAN connector. This common housing enables easy installation of the said computing apparatus module and plurality of other compatible devices that may be plugged into that same housing.
Abstract:
An automatic sensing power system automatically determines a power requirement for an electrical device, converts power to the required level, and outputs the power to the electrical device when the electrical device is connected to the automatic sensing power system.
Abstract:
A method, system and computer program product to adjust transfer rates on conductors in a multi-conductor cable comprising monitoring signals received on each conductor, determining a Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) for each conductor and adjusting a transfer rate on one or more conductors based on the corresponding SNR. In an embodiment the multi-conductor cable is a twisted pair Ethernet cable. The method further comprises determining whether a conductor is transmitting at an optimal transfer rate as a function of its SNR, calculating an optimal transfer rate for each conductor as a function of its SNR and periodically measuring a change in SNR on each conductor. If the change in SNR is greater than a predetermined threshold, then the transfer rate is re-calculated for the conductors requiring transfer rate adjustment as a function of SNR.
Abstract:
A rotatable adapter device with multiple connectors includes a main body, a first electrical connector, a plurality of second electrical connectors and a conducting unit. The first electrical connector is disposed rotatably on the main body, the plurality of second electrical connectors are disposed fixedly on the main body and the conducting unit is electrically connected to the first electrical connector and at least one of the second electrical connectors. Therefore, it has a transforming function and is more convenient for a user. Moreover, its design avoids the signal lines becoming intertwined with each other when they are inserted into the adapter.
Abstract:
A wired media connector includes a body, a receptacle, a plurality of isolation transformers, and a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) interface. The receptacle includes a plurality of signal line contacts formed to exactly meet a plurality of signal line contacts of a wired media plug. Each isolation transformer includes a primary side having a pair of primary differential signal line connections and a secondary side having a pair of secondary differential signal line connections and a center tap. The PCB interface is formed on the body and has a plurality of PCB interface signal line groups. Each PCB interface signal line group includes a pair of PCB differential signal line connections communicatively coupled to a pair of secondary differential signal line connections of a corresponding isolation transformer and a center tap PCB connection communicatively coupled to the center tap of the secondary side of the corresponding isolation transformer.
