Abstract: An aspect of the present disclosure is directed to a connector. The connector is suited to connectorizing exactly two conductors. The connector includes a forward connector body, a rear connector body, a metal frame and exactly two electrical contacts. The rear connector body interfaces with the forward connector body. Further, the metal frame, which includes a shielding interface, surrounds at least a portion of both the forward and rear connector bodies. The electrical contacts extend from the rear connector body into the forward connector body. A first of the electrical contacts is electrically coupled to a first conductor of a shielded cable and the second of the electrical contacts is electrically coupled to a second conductor of the shielded cable. The shield interface of the metal frame is electrically coupled to the shield of the shielded cable.

Abstract: A connector assembly (10) is disclosed in which a connector part (12) and a cable manager part (20) are provided. The cable manager part (20) can be provided with a rear housing (40), a lacing fixture part (30), and a grounding part (50). In one aspect, the grounding part (50) provides grounding contact between an inserted cable (4) and the connector part (12). In one aspect, the grounding part (50) secures the connector part (12) to the rear housing part (40). In one example, a connector assembly (110) is provided with a grounding arrangement (150) including a plurality of deflectable grounding members (152) and provides grounding contact between the inserted cable (4) and the connector part (112). In one aspect, the grounding members (152) each provide two points of contact against the cable (4).

Abstract: An electrical connection system includes various devices and structures for improving alien crosstalk performance in a high density configuration. In certain examples, a plurality of insulation displacement contacts of a connector are arranged at angle and oriented to be symmetrical about an axial of the connector. The connector includes a connector housing and a shield cap configured to at least partially cover the connector housing. The shield cap includes a shield wall and an open side that is not closed by a shield wall. The shield wall exposes a portion of the connector when the shield cap is mounted to the connector housing. When a plurality of such connectors are arranged side by side in a high density configuration, the connectors are aligned such that the open side of the shield cap is arranged close to, or abutted to, the shield wall of the shield cap of an adjacent connector.

Abstract: A keying scheme for single pair connectors provides the functionality needed to provide an institution with a level of security for private networks. The keying scheme relies upon three keying features to create at least seven different keying patterns, whose uniqueness can be additionally enhanced through color coding. The keying schemes for a single pair free connector include extensions that extend beyond a standardized forward face perimeter. Corresponding keying schemes are provided in mating receptacle connectors and couplers.

Abstract: A compliant mechanism tool for connector termination can be used to seat a rear body portion of a connector against or within a forward housing portion of the connector. Seating the rear body portion causes conductors, which are coupled to the rear body portion, to electrically couple with respective ones of contacts positioned with the forwarding housing. The compliant mechanism tool includes first and second handles that can be subjected to a squeezing motion causing connected first and second arms to propel a ram toward a head portion of the tool. The ram interfaces with the forward housing portion of the connector causing the forward housing to be pushed against the rear body portion causing seating of the rear body portion; motion of the forward housing is limited by a stop within the head portion of the tool.

Abstract: A shielded in-line connector includes conductive first and second body portions, each with a securement feature, as well as conductive first and second clips. The first and second body portions are secured to one another to define an unshielded connector-receiving cavity as well as first and second shielded cable openings; each of the first and second shielded cable openings being proximate the respective clip securement feature. Each of the clip securement features includes a channel supportive of a respective shielded cable extending from each of the first and second shielded cable openings; each of the shielded cables having an exposed shield. The first and second clips are adjustably secured to a respective one of the first and second securement features to position the respective clip in direct contact with the exposed shield of the respective shielded cable.

Abstract: A telecommunications patch panel system (10) including a plurality of multiport telecommunications bezel assemblies (200) installed within a panel frame (100) is presented. The bezel assemblies (200) are formed from cooperating first and second frame parts (210, 240) to define a plurality of jack receptacle openings (202). In one example, the plurality of jack receptacles (202) are arranged in a two-row array. The first and second frame parts (210, 240) also retain a central bonding strip (290) having a plurality of grounding contact elements (292, 293). The grounding contact elements (292, 293) ground the jack modules (120) that are installed within the bezel assembly jack receptacle openings (202). Where a two-row array of jack receptacle openings (202) is provided, the central bonding strip (290) can be configured to extend between the rows. The central bonding strip (290) can provide grounding for multiple bezel assemblies (200).
