摘要:
The field terminable patch connector comprises three separable upper and lower body or housing portions, all three of which have mutual interlocking detent structures which permit the three housing portions to be assembled and locked together into a rigid assembly. One of the three housing portions is a contact insulator which has a multiplicity of slots and protrusions capable of retaining contacts for receiving conductors of a twisted pair cable. A metal shield is provided which fits between both the upper housing portion and contact insulator portion to shield pairs of conductors from one another. When properly field terminated with a Category 5 compliant cable, the patch connector of the present invention meets or exceeds the TIA/EIA TSB-40 Category 5 transmission requirements when mated with 110 type connector blocks. Other features include the ease of field assembly without special tools or operations (e.g. soldering or crimp tools), polarization structure which assures proper orientation of the mating conductors, a snap detent structure that provides a positive and stable mechanical connection to the connecting block, and an insulation displacement terminal which utilizes closed gap construction and low surface area mating contacts that minimize capacitive coupling between adjacent contact positions to assure Category 5 compliance. The shield not only provides crosstalk isolation between conductor pairs, but is also designed to allow access on either its outer surface or its inner surface, or both when mated with an appropriate shield connection means on the plug receptacle.

摘要:
The field terminable patch connector of the present invention comprises three separable upper and lower body or housing portions, two of which have a detent structure which permits the three housing portions to be assembled and locked together into a rigid assembly. The third housing portion is a contact insulator which has a multiplicity of slots and protrusions capable of retaining eight contacts for receiving eight conductors of a four pair cable. In addition, a metal shield is provided which fits between both the upper housing portion and contact insulator portion. This metal shield portion shields (e.g., electrically isolates) the four pairs of conductors from one another and is held in position by the same aforementioned detents. When properly field terminated and used with a Category 5 compliant cable, the patch connector of the present invention meets or exceeds the EIA/TIA TSB-36 Category 5 transmission requirements when used with 110 type connector blocks. Other features of this invention include the ease of field assembly without special tools or operations (e.g. soldering or crimp tools), polarization structure which assures proper orientation of the mating conductors, a snap detent structure that provides a positive and stable mechanical connection to the connecting block, and an improved insulation displacement terminal which preferably utilizes closed gap construction that assures Category 5 compliance.

A panel yoke having a snap locking mounting scheme for securing wire connectors is presented. The panel yoke includes a connector mounting scheme comprising a wire termination assembly removably secured in a mounting base by a snap locking mechanism. The wire termination assembly includes a mounting strip which is connected to a wire termination block at one end and is snap locked in the mounting base at the other end. The termination assembly further including an interconnecting device (e.g., telecommunication modular jack) connected to the termination block by a plurality of wires. The panel yoke further including a mounting scheme for removably securing the panel yoke in a panel or cover plate.
摘要:
A yoke for flush mounting a modular housing within an opening in a planar surface is disclosed. The yoke includes a flat plate having an aperture therethrough, a pair of hooks for securing a housing to the plate, a pair of gripper arms for securing the plate over the opening in the planar surface and locating tabs extending rearwardly from the plate to locate the housing in alignment with the opening in the flat plate. The hooks and locating tabs allow both lateral and axial insertion of the housing into the yoke.
摘要:
A modular test adapter includes a housing, a pair of modular telecommunications jacks mounted with the housing and eight electrically continuous test circuits connecting the jacks. Each test circuit provides an electrical connection between one of the wire termination pins on one of the jacks with a corresponding pin on the other jack. A third electrical access is provided on each circuit by means of an electrical contact pad. The housing defines openings in a pair of parallel sides for providing access to the plug openings of the jacks and defines radially oriented spaced apart recesses along curved end surfaces on the housing for providing access to the contact pads. The adapter includes a detachable plug cord that also functions as a carrying strap for the adapter.
