摘要:
A connector made up of a plug and outlet which, when mated, define four shielded quadrants, each of which houses a pair of contacts. Shield members within the plug overlap and shield members within the outlet overlap. In addition, shield members within the outlet overlap adjacent shield members in the plug when mated. Overlapping the shield members at each shield member junction provides enhanced shielding and reduced crosstalk.

A shielded patch panel including a shield coupler that electrically connects a shield layer from an incoming cable to the shielded housing of a modular outlet. The shield layer of a shielded incoming cable is connected to the shield coupler through a spade that facilitates installation of the incoming cable. The shield coupler includes a plurality of arms that electrically connect the shield layer of the incoming cable to a shielded housing of the modular outlet. The shield coupler enhances the transfer impedance of the screened patch panels and results in compliance with the transfer impedance requirements.

The multimedia outlet of the present invention exhibits a combination of form and function. The outlet provides six openings for various telecommunicating connectors that provide for up to 12 ports of mixed media or up to 24 fiber optic ports. Also, provided is a cable management arrangement complying with industry standards specifications. The form of the outlet, having inwardly angled sides allows for "true" gravity feed connections, which are desirable. The outlet also includes multiple cable access/raceway knockout ports and a concealed labeling system.

A wire manager that is removably mountable to stand-off legs having at least one male latch. The wire manager includes a plurality of exterior retaining members and retaining members. Each exterior retaining member has a female latch for engaging the male latch located on the stand-off legs. The wire manager includes notches formed on each female latch and each exterior retaining member which receive nubs formed on the stand-off legs. Base plates of the wire manager include cross-shaped recesses for receiving cross-shaped projections formed on the stand-off legs. The notches and nubs along with the cross-shaped recesses and cross-shaped projections aid in aligning the wire manager and the stand-off legs.

A modular outlet having reduced crosstalk is presented. The modular outlet of the present invention comprises a connector housing which supports a plurality of contacts and a termination cap mated to the housing for terminating a plurality of wires at one end of the contacts. The contacts are positioned on a contact carrier which is received in the housing. The contacts include current carrying plates which are stacked to induce capacitance between selected contacts. This method of achieving a controlled amount of capacitive coupling between selected contacts allows the modular outlet to meet or exceed Category 5 requirements. Further, while the modular outlet connections are positioned in accordance with a standard configuration, the insulation displacement contacts are sequentially positioned, thereby eliminating pair splitting when terminating.

A lightweight extremely versatile cross-connect frame and associated stand-off brackets are presented. This cross-connect frame comprises few components with integrally designed hole patterns to retain communication connector blocks and other standard products that require the dimensions of an EIA standard relay rack. The enhanced manufacturing and assembly produce clean sturdy frames which can be mounted either directly or with compatible stand-off brackets to a wall or 19" EIA relay rack. Additionally, these frames, with or without stand-off brackets, minimize the mounting space required by being both an even RMS (Rack Mount Space) in length and end stackable.

A shielded connector assembly having a snap locking mounting scheme. The assembly includes a panel yoke (2) with snap locking elements (21) for snap lockingly, removably securing the panel yoke (2) in a panel or cover plate. The panel yoke (2) is also constructed to snap lockingly engage a shielding device (30) which in turn is constructed to snap lockingly engage a connector assembly comprising an interconnecting device (61) which may be a printed circuit board (59) including integrally defined reactive elements designed to compensate for reactive imbalance of electrical components connected thereto. A pair of wire termination blocks (70) mounted to a first side of the circuit board are connected by circuitry on the circuit board to a corresponding modular jack (60) mounted on a second side of the circuit board. The reactive elements produce an impedance between selected leads of the modular jack and the wire termination blocks by the circuitry. A snap locking combination of the shield device (30) and a shielding cover (90) completely shields the connector assembly (61). For joining the assembly parts, the shield includes pawls (32) and engagement members (33) that latch to cutouts (18) in the yoke and to apertures (94) in the shield cover, respectively. The shield device (30) includes a cable shield restraint (36). In one embodiment, a dual opening yoke receives two shielding devices. In another embodiment, a single opening yoke receives one shielding device.

A wiring block, in accordance with the present invention, comprises a base having at least one wiring strip snap lock mounted thereto and having a leg assembly snap lock mounted at each end of the base. The leg assemblies provide a space behind the wiring block (when mounted) for cables/wires that are to be terminated at the wiring block. The detachable leg assemblies are an important feature of the present invention as they provide for improved cable/wire management during installations, moves and changes, as compared to that of the prior art. The base has openings between selected wiring strips for allowing cables/wires to pass through also improving cable/wire management. Further, the wiring strip includes spaced notches to facilitate wiring thereto.

A novel patching device comprises discrete modules, each having a unitary molded housing which incorporates a pair of oppositely disposed (e.g., back-to-back) standard female modular jacks on a front face thereof. A rear face of the housing includes retaining means for retaining a printed circuit board having circuitry associated therewith which normally maintains a constant electrical interconnection between respective conductive pins in each of the jacks. This normally constant interconnection is interrupted or "pre-empted" when a known and standard modular plug is inserted into a jack whereby the resilient conductive pins are urged outwardly from contact with the printed circuit board. Each discrete module includes novel snap fitting means which permits disengageable snap fit attachment to an opening of a panel. Significantly, the module may be snap fit either from the front or opposed rear planar surface of the panel.
