Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a high speed jack, the method including the steps of forming a housing including a port for accepting a plug, the port including a plurality of pins each connected to a corresponding signal line in the plug, forming a shielding case surrounding the housing, forming a top layer of a substrate, a first shielding layer on a first side of the top layer in the substrate, a second shielding layer adjacent the first shielding layer in the substrate, and forming a bottom layer adjacent to the second shielding layer, forming a plurality of first vias extending through the substrate with each first via being configured to accommodate a pin on the housing, forming a plurality of second vias extending through the substrate with each second via being configured to accommodate a pin on the housing.
Abstract:
A communication plug including a plug body, a cavity in the plug body, the cavity having a first portion, a second portion and a third portion, a load bar having a plurality of openings on a front face of the load bar, where the cavity is sized to engage the load bar such that the load bar directs at least one wire inserted into a corresponding opening in the load bar into channels in the plug.
Abstract:
A testing unit including a substrate, a plurality of vias located in the substrate, a plurality of pin traces having a height and a width and each extending from a respective via towards an edge of the substrate and terminating at an end point, a plurality of termination points adjacent to the end points of the pin traces, a plurality of end traces having a height and a width with each end trace extending from an end point of a respective pin trace towards to a corresponding termination point near to the pin trace, a plurality of traces extending from the end of a respective end point or termination point to the edge of the substrate, where the end points of each pin trace are adjacent to each other.
Abstract:
A high speed communication jack including a housing including a port for accepting a plug, the port including a plurality of pins each connected to a corresponding signal line in the plug and a shielding case surrounding the housing. A flexible circuit board between the shielding case and the housing having a substrate, a plurality of vias extending through the substrate with each via being configured to accommodate a pin on the housing, a plurality of traces on a first side of the substrate, with each trace extending from a corresponding one of the plurality of vias, and a shielding plane on a second side of the substrate opposite the first side of the substrate.
Abstract:
A modular plug including a housing having a single-pair of contacts for Ethernet data and power. Each contact includes a conductor termination portion disposed at the channel and a jack interface portion disposed at the mating end. The conductor termination portion has a width greater than a width of the jack interface portion.
Abstract:
The present disclosure generally relates to a modular connector. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to switched modular jack and plug connectors for advantageous use in connection with PoE (power over Ethernet) applications. The modular connector includes a pair of energizable contacts that facilitate an electrical path which may be de-energized by a switch component.
