Abstract:
A connector having a plug connected to an antenna through a coaxial cable and a receptacle. The plug includes a cylindrical shell, a pin contact, and an insulative pin contact holder provided inside the shell. The receptacle includes a first receptacle housing having a shell-receiving hole and a second receptacle housing provided inside the shell-receiving hole and having a pin contact-receiving hole. A first protrusion is formed in a distal end of the pin contact holder. A first reentrant in which the first protrusion is to be fitted is formed in a distal end of the second receptacle housing. The present invention can prevent the connection of external antennas of other manufacturers to the receptacle because the first protrusion and first reentrant are specified in shape. Also, the plug can be readily connected to the receptacle because the plug can be connected to the receptacle independently of the posture of the plug.
Abstract:
A foolproof jack includes a shell and at least one elastomer. The shell has at least one joining opening, and the joining opening corresponds to a first type plug. The elastomer sets in the joining opening, and stops a second type plug to plug in the joining opening. The second type plug is different from the first type plug. The elastomer has a body and at least one stop portion. The body is mounted in the shell. In a Y-direction, at least one arm outward extends from the body. In a Z-direction, a part of the arm is bent. In an X-direction, the stop portion extends inward from the arm.
Abstract:
A cable is disclosed which include a first connector, a second connector, a primary flexible cable segment coupled to the first connector at a first location on the primary flexible cable segment and to the second connector at a second location on the primary flexible cable segment, and a third connector coupled to the primary flexible cable segment at a third location between the first and second locations on the primary flexible cable segment.
Abstract:
A network concentrator is mounted on a mounting surface using a mounting piece. The network concentrator includes a mounting hole in a mounting part. If the mounting surface is not magnetic, a protrusion such as a screw is inserted into the mounting hole. If the mounting surface is magnetic, a mounting piece is used. The mounting piece has such a form as to be inserted into the mounting hole, and is provided with a magnet. The magnet is attached to the mounting surface, and a part of the mounting piece is inserted into the mounting hole to mount the network concentrator on the mounting surface.
Abstract:
A telecommunications patch panel is provided having a plurality of connector modules rotatably mounted to a frame member. Each connector module has a front face and an opposite facing rear face, and each front face includes a plurality of connector jacks. Each rear face includes a plurality of wire termination blocks. The wire termination blocks are electrically connected to the connector jacks. Each connector module is rotatable about a rotation axis relative to the frame member. A lock selectively locks each connector module to the frame member as desired. The connector jacks and the connector modules are arranged in linear arrays perpendicular to the axis of rotation.
Abstract:
An axial latch actuator includes: a mating portion having a latch for engaging a jack; and a slidable housing that slides along the mating portion and engages the mating portion, wherein when the slidable housing slides in a first direction, the mating portion is in a latched position and when the slidable housing slides in a second direction, the mating portion is in an unlatched position. The housing also includes a locking wedge. The latch in this embodiment includes first and second fingers adjacent to one another that extend over the mating portion and have first ends connected to the mating portion.
Abstract:
An automatic sensing power system automatically determines power a requirement for an electrical device, converts power to the required level, and outputs the power to the electrical device when the electrical device is connected to the automatic sensing power system.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a serial-to-ethernet modular converter jack and a method of fabricating of the same. The serial-to-ethernet converter electronic components, including the control software stored in on-board memory, are miniaturized and housed entirely in an RJ-45 jack. The present invention is constructed of a shielded housing that defines an open front portion for a connector port. The housing of the present invention also includes a segregated interior chamber, which encases all of the electrical components necessary to complete a serial-to-ethernet conversion of data. Lead pins electrically connected to the circuitry within the interior chamber, protrude from the based of the connector jack providing for a means to mate the jack to a circuit board. First, second and third circuit boards collectively incorporate the serial-to-ethernet circuitry components. Both the first circuit board incorporating magnetic circuitry and the second circuit board incorporating control circuitry are positioned in generally horizontal parallel relation within the interior chamber. The second circuit board which defines opposed sides includes electronic components disposed upon the upper and lower of both sides of said second circuit board. The third circuit board, incorporating connections to the LEDs, is positioned generally perpendicular in relation to the first and second circuit boards and is structurally connected to said first and second circuit boards, additionally providing an electrical connection between the first and second boards. Alternative embodiments of the invention are disclosed and include various arrangement of the serial-to-ethernet circuitry within the interior chamber of the housing.
Abstract:
An ethernet converter enables computers with an ethernet connection to connect to a network on a two-wire system. The converter comprises a device installed behind a wall plate that employs an RJ11 port. The converter may comprise indicator lights, which notifies the user of the status of the converter. The converter may comprise a cable for connecting the computer to the device, and for connecting the device to a power source, which may be a USB port or a PS/2 port of the computer, or an AC/DC adapter connected to an AC power source.
Abstract:
A rotatable shunting socket housing for telecommunication devices includes a body having two sockets respectively defined at two opposite side thereof. Each of the sockets is provided with a plurality of metal feet. A cover is mounted on a side of the body and between the sockets. A connector is rotatably mounted on the cover, and has a plug provided at an exterior side thereof. The plug is perpendicular to the sockets and electrically connected with the metal feet. The body and the cover can be rotated about the connector, and plugs of mounting cords inserted in the can be parallel to a wall, so that the mounting cords are not bent or twisted.
