Abstract:
The interface apparatus has a connector-receiving unit for receiving a connector that is electrically connected via a conductor to a first device. The connector has a receiving opening corresponding to the conductor. The apparatus further has a port for receiving a cable terminator electrically connected to a second device that is configured to communicate with the network component. Furthermore, the apparatus has a component electrically connected to the port that has a conductive probe movably positioned with respect to the receiving opening corresponding to the conductor of the connector. The component has an actuation component that moves the conductive probe into the receiving opening of the connector when actuated thereby establishing a conductive path between the first device and the second device.
Abstract:
A device (1) has a modular unit (6) which can be adjusted between at least two operating positions in the device (1) and which, in each operating position, can be accessed from outside the device (1).
Abstract:
An industrial ethernet connector has four pairs of conductors. The connector includes a first pair of conductors defining a first axis and a second pair of conductors defining a second axis. The second axis is orthogonal to the first axis.
Abstract:
A network connection system for connecting computer network components, the network connection system including a twisted pair cable having multiple conductors in twisted pairs a cable termination connector affixable at an end of the cable. The cable termination connector includes a slender elongate connector housing; and termination contacts located within the connector housing. The termination contacts include conductively line holes and compliant eyelets which can be engaged to each other. The network connection system also includes connecting hardware as well as a dust cover, a pull ring cover and a feeder strip. The present invention can be used on a local area network (LAN) or a wide area network (WAN).
Abstract:
An outlet (70, 75, 76, 78, 79) for a Local Area Network (LAN), containing an integrated adapter (21, 25) that converts digital data to and from analog video signal. Such an outlet allows using analog video units in a digital data network (80), eliminating the need for a digital video units or external adapter. The outlet may include a hub (31, 41) 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 (73). 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. In such a configuration, the outlet would have a standard telephone jack (71), an analog video jack (72) and at least one data networking jack (73). Outlets according to the invention can be used to retrofit existing LAN and in-building telephone wiring, as well as original equipment in new installation
Abstract:
An improved cable is set forth for connecting a keyboard and at least one peripheral device to a computer. The standard cable from keyboard to computer incorporates an extender cable leading directly to a port connector on the keyboard. This inexpensive and simple solution can be used to position ports within easy reach of the user, while minimizing the manufacturing cost and design complexity of the keyboard.
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:
A system and method of interfacing data between a first electronic device and a second electronic device is disclosed. In one embodiment, the first and second electronic devices are cell phones manufactured by different manufacturers. The first electronic device can be the source device, and the second electronic device can be the target device. A data transfer hub having universal connectors is coupled with at least one of a plurality of adapter cables. The first and second electronic devices are connected to the data transfer hub using at least one of the plurality of adapter cables. The data transfer hub is connected to the computer system, wherein the computer system is configured to receive and transmit data from the first electronic device and the second electronic device. The data is then transmitted from the first electronic device to the second electronic device.
Abstract:
A connector module suitable for ultra-high speed network transmission is described. The connector module utilizes a network controlling interface device with substantially the same width as a socket of a jack. Electrical components with smaller size and better network transmission efficiency are disposed on the network controlling interface device. Therefore, the connector module has more compact package size, so as to reduce a package size of an electrical apparatus using the connector module and increase process yield and network transmission efficiency. In addition, at least one displaying device is disposed in the connector module and electrically connected to the network controlling interface device, so as to show a connection status of the network.
