Abstract:
A support slide assembly for a cable management arm is coupled with two slide assemblies. Two ends of the cable management arm are connected to one of the two slide assemblies. The support slide assembly includes a sliding member provided between the two ends of the cable management arm and sustained by the support slide assembly to travel in relation to the support slide assembly. Two ends of the support slide assembly respectively connected to the two slide assemblies. The support slide assembly includes a first rod and a second rod sliding into each other to become one retractable piece, allowing change of its total length. The two rods of the support slide assembly each is pivoted to a sliding block.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a connector in which countermeasures against external noise and radiation noise are taken, and an information processing apparatus having such a connector, which suppresses both the external noise and radiation noise. The connector is disposed at an opening formed in an outer face of an information processing apparatus such that the connector does not project from the outer face, a shield cable being connected to the connector from the opening. An end face on the side of the opening is made of an insulative material. The connector includes a signal terminal which connects a signal line of the shield cable and a processing circuit of the information processing apparatus with each other and which is provided at a location other than the end face, and a shield conductor which connects a shield of the shield cable and a ground of the information processing apparatus with each other and which is provided at a location other than the end face.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a receptacle (100) having structures for reducing arcing when a plug (300) is drawn out of the receptacle (100). The receptacle (100) includes a number of electrical contacts (20), each of the electrical contacts (20) being slidably mating with a corresponding conductive terminal (34) of the plug (300) and therefore defining a mating area on the electrical contact (20). Each of the electrical contacts (20) includes a conductive area (222) to abut the corresponding terminal when the plug (300) are fully mated in the receptacle (100) and a less conductive area (224) where the conductive terminal (34) slides thereto and then leave the electrical contact (20) therefrom when the plug (300) is being drawn out of the receptacle (100).
Abstract:
According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus is configured to be provided with a communication line socket provided on a backside surface of a casing of the electronic apparatus, metallic terminals provided in the communication line socket, and abutment sections each of which is provided in the vicinity of the communication line socket, and is given a predetermined height from the metallic terminals in an insertion direction of the communication line socket. By virtue of the above configuration, even if it is tried to insert a wrong plug into the communication line socket by mistake, the wrong plug abuts against the abutment sections, and the insertion is stopped on the way.
Abstract:
An outlet for a Local Area Network (LAN), containing an integrated adapter that converts digital data to and from analog video signal. Such an outlet allows using analog video units in a digital data network, eliminating the need for a digital video units or external adapter. The outlet may include a hub that allows connecting both an analog video signal via an adapter, as well as retaining the data network connection, which may be accessed by a network jack. The invention may also be applied to a telephone line-based data networking system. In such an environment, the data networking circuitry as well as the analog video adapters are integrated into a telephone outlet, providing for regular telephone service, analog video connectivity, and data networking as well.
Abstract:
An identification labeling system having a faceplate with a recess and a label cover that may be retained within the recess. The label cover may have compartments for retaining identification labels. The label cover has latching legs and the recess has a complementary retention ledge. A lift slot may be provided to facilitate removal of the label cover. The recess may contain holes to accommodate individual molded identification icons. The recess may include tapered corners to accommodate strip labels of different widths and lengths, such labels being positioned by the tapered corners of the recess and the label cover. The recess includes end configurations that prevent a label from passing through the surface of the faceplate. The label cover has a thickness so as to be flush with the faceplate. The label may be the same color as the faceplate.
Abstract:
Provided is an ethernet connector comprising a housing having an insulation displacement contact securely disposed within a hollow portion of the housing, and an insertion member, having a hole configured to receive a wire in a manner so that the wire extends through the hole in a direction perpendicular to an operable direction of insertion of the cartridge into the housing and so that the wire makes electrical connection with the insulation displacement contact when the cartridge is inserted into the cavity. Methodology for forming an ethernet connector is also provided.
Abstract:
A patch panel is configured to be mounted to a rack or in an enclosure, facilitates cable management functions, and enhances space utilization at and around the rack/patch panel assembly. The patch panel advantageously combines the distribution of voice (analog voice & VoIP) and high speed data services (e.g., broadband services) over one single UTP cable. Two pairs of within the UTP cable are dedicated to distribute analog voice and two pairs of the UTP cable are dedicated to distribute Ethernet service to each location (LOC 1 to LOC 13) simultaneously.
Abstract:
A cable connector holder including a base configured to hold a plurality of cable connectors and a press part attached to the base and extending above the plurality of cable connectors, wherein the lever is configured to uniformly press down on each of the plurality of cable connectors to render the cable connectors collectively removable from a network device. The cable connector may further include a press prevention mechanism that prevents the press part from engaging the levers of the cable connectors, thereby preventing the removal of the plurality of connectors in the connector holder from a network device.
Abstract:
A 110-style patch cord includes: a plug having opposed front and rear ends and a generally horizontal support surface; a plurality of electrical contacts mounted in the plug, each contact including a generally vertically oriented blade, the blades having exposed front edges positioned above the support surface and defining a first vertical plane; and a cable with a plurality of conductors, wherein each contact is electrically connected to a respective one of the conductors, the cable extending from the front end of the plug. At least one anti-snagging gusset is mounted on the support surface in front of the first plane.
