Die Erfindung betrifft eine Verteilereinrichtung einer Telekommunikationsanlage, mit einer Aufnahmeeinrichtung (11), die mehrere Funktionselemente (12) aufnimmt, wobei jedes Funktionselement (12) als IDC-Kontakte ausgebildete, in zwei übereinander angeordneten IDC-Kontaktreihen positionierte Anschlusselemente (13) aufweist, wobei die IDC-Kontakte einer ersten IDC-Kontaktreihe jedes Funktionselements (12) dem Anschluss von Kabeladern mindestens eines Teilnehmerkabels oder Systemkabels dienen, wobei die IDC-Kontakte einer zweiten IDC-Kontaktreihe jedes Funktionselements (12) dem Anschluss von Kabeladern mindestens eines Rangierkabels dienen, und wobei jedes Rangierkabel über einen Rangierstecker (17) an IDC-Kontakte der zweiten IDC-Kontaktreihe eines Funktionselements (12) anschließbar ist. Erfindungsgemäß weist die Aufnahmeeinrichtung (11) benachbart zu der zweiten IDC- Kontaktreihe eines jeden Funktionselements (12) ein Rangierkabelschirmungselement (18) auf, mit dem jeder Rangierstecker (17) bei Kontaktierung desselben mit IDC-Kontakten (13) einer zweiten IDC-Kontaktreihe eines Funktionselements (12) kontaktierbar ist.
Abstract:
A terminal strip for interconnecting electrical lines, especially telephone or computer lines, comprising a single row of mutually parallel first conducting elements (9) placed side by side, each having an insulation-displacement end intended to house a line wire, the insulation-displacement ends of the first conducting elements being oriented towards the upper longitudinal side (7), and a single row of second mutually parallel conducting elements (11) placed side by side, each having an insulation-displacement end intended to house a line wire, the insulation-displacement ends of the second conducting elements being oriented towards the lower longitudinal side (8). These two rows (9, 11) are in a same plane and are interconnected via respective interruption points which are offset with respect to said common plane.
Abstract:
A cable manager includes one or more cable manager units. Each cable manager unit includes a pair of side cable guides, each comprised of a plurality of finger-like projections extending forwardly from a support column. At least one of the pair of support columns has a socket arranged at a side thereof. Each cable manager unit further includes a separate midsection member capable of insertion into the socket for interconnecting the pair of side cable guides.

Abstract:
A terminal block for interconnecting conductors in telecommunications circuits is disclosed. The terminal block allows a plurality of telecommunication wires to be progressively connected to a connector member. The terminal block includes a conductor transporting driver module having passageways that customer wires and service wires are inserted into and a connector chamber housing two insulation displacing connector members for the tip and ring lines. Wires are connected to the connector member progressively through a cyclical motion of the driver module relative to the connector members along a path of travel having an angle relative to a mounting surface which facilitates easy access to both wires and a threaded fastener actuating the driver module even in the most demanding telecommunications housing environments.

Abstract:
An electrical connector assembly comprises a connector block, which includes a plurality of housing assemblies aligned in a generally vertically stacked orientation. Each housing assembly comprises a housing, an insulation displacement connector element disposed within the housing, where the insulation displacement connector element is adapted to electrically connect with a conductor partially disposed within the housing, an access cover, where the access cover is connected to the housing and is moveable between a closed position and an open position, wherein in the open position, the insulation displacement connector disposed within the housing is accessible, a generally vertical surface, and a conductor-receiving opening along the generally vertical surface.
Abstract:
A terminating device for terminating subscriber wiring to pairs of insulation displacement type conductive contacts includes a protective sealing gel disposed within the terminating device. The gel encapsulates the conductive contacts and is characterized by a dynamic storage modulus G' and a dynamic loss modulus G" expressed in dynes/cm 2 having a dynamic crossover point between about 1 rad/sec and about 20 rad/sec at any temperature in the range between about -40°C to about 80°C. The loss modulus G" is greater than the storage modulus G' at a shear frequency greater than the dynamic crossover point and is less than the storage modulus G' at a shear frequency less than the dynamic crossover point. The gel has an ultimate elongation greater than about 1000%, an ultimate tensile strength greater than about 2 psi, and a cone penetration value expressed in tenths of a millimeter between about 255 and 265.
Abstract:
A multi-port cabling system for use in installing cable to an equipment rack or enclosure or within an equipment room or data center includes a cabling assembly comprising at least one connector head having a plurality of ports and at least one cable operatively connected to the plurality of ports. The at least one cable terminates internally within the connector head to operatively couple the cable to the plurality of ports. The system further includes a mounting bracket. The mounting bracket and the connector head are each configured for tool-less attachment of one or more cabling assemblies to the bracket. The mounting bracket is further configured to removably mount to an equipment rack or enclosure, and/or to a wall, to thereby install one or more cables. The cabling assembly and the cabling system help to eliminate onsite cable termination and testing during installation of cables to rack-mounted equipment.
