Abstract:
A jack assembly includes a top face and a bottom face defining a cavity there between for receiving a plug. The jack assembly includes a printed circuit board extending between the top and bottom faces of the jack assembly. At least one spring contact is connected to the printed circuit board and extends into the cavity. The spring contact defines a flexible curvature along a length of the spring contact, and the printed circuit board connects to the jack assembly at a pivot point allowing for angular rotation of the printed circuit board within the cavity. The angular rotation allows the jack assembly to absorb stress forces on the spring contacts. Secondary springs may be included in the jack assembly to further absorb spring contact stress forces.
Abstract:
A tilted module adapted to assemble a network distribution device and disposed between a frame and at least a panel of the network distribution device, characterized in that the tilted module having a casing adapted to allow a protruding portion to be disposed at a front of the casing of the tilted module and extend toward two ends thereof to form two tilted surfaces positioned proximate thereto, respectively, the tilted surfaces each having a wall disposed thereon and adapted to engage with the panels, wherein a plurality of fixing elements each extend backward from the casing to engage with the frame, such that the casing is mounted on the frame, thereby allowing the network distribution device thus assembled to facilitate wiring management and saves layout space.
Abstract:

Abstract:
An electrical connector comprises a connector body. The connector body includes an insulative housing and a contact module received in the insulative housing. The contact module includes a spacer and a plurality of contacts received in the spacer. Each of the contacts have a foot portion for being mounted onto an external printed circuit board. The insulative housing has a plurality of mating ports defined in a vertical front face. The electrical connector also includes a connector standoff assembled under the connector body to support the connector body. The connector standoff includes a base portion and four locking arms extending from the base portion along a down-to-up direction, and two of the locking arms engage with the spacer. The foot portion extends downwardly through the connector standoff
Abstract:
An electrical connector assembly (100) comprises: a housing (1) having a rear body portion (12) and a front mating portion (13), two paralleled printed circuit boards (2) disposed in the housing and positioned by the housing, two cables (4) respectively electrically connected to the two printed circuit boards, a spacer (3) sandwiched between the two printed circuit boards and positioned by the housing, a metallic holder (8) surrounding the body portion, and a metallic gasket (9) surrounding a rear section of the mating portion. The metallic gasket has a number of ribs (135) around a front end thereof and the housing has on an outer surface thereof a plurality of slits receiving the ribs (95).
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides for electrical connectors or jack assemblies/housings for use in voice/data communication systems. More particularly, the present disclosure provides for modular jack assemblies that include a movable locking member. The present disclosure provides for improved systems/designs for jack assemblies/housings that are easily secured and/or unsecured to or from a jack panel or jack faceplate. In exemplary embodiments, the present disclosure provides for convenient, low-cost and effective systems and methods for easily securing and/or unsecuring jack assemblies/housings to or from a jack panel/faceplate (e.g., in the field) by utilizing advantageous modular jack assemblies that include a movable locking member, and related assemblies.
Abstract:
Patch cords are provided that include a communications cable that has at least first through fourth conductors and a plug that is attached to the cable. The plug includes a housing that receives the cable, a printed circuit board, first through fourth plug contacts, and first through fourth conductive paths that connect the first through fourth conductors to the respective first through fourth plug contacts. The first and second conductors, conductive paths, and plug contacts form a first differential transmission line, and the third and fourth conductors, conductive paths, and plug contacts form a second differential transmission line. Each of the first through fourth plug contacts has a first segment that extends longitudinally along a first surface of the printed circuit board, and the signal current injection point into the first segment of at least some of the first through fourth plug contacts is into middle portions of their respective first segments.
