A modular plug is disclosed for terminating a telecommunications cable having twisted pairs of wires. The modular plug includes a housing defining an internal cavity and slots positioned toward a distal end of the housing, each slot being parallel to a central axis of the modular plug. A wire manager is fitted inside the internal cavity, and defines channels for positioning the twisted pairs of wires inside the housing. A wire sled extends from the wire manager and defines a plurality of grooves, each groove shaped to position an individual wire from the twisted pairs of wires at an angle with respect to the central axis. The modular plug further includes a plurality of plug contacts. Each plug contact is held by a slot of the housing and is structured to form an electrical interface with a wire positioned by the wire sled.

Modular telecommunications plug and method

A modular plug for terminating a telecommunications cable includes a housing, a plurality of wire contacts, and a wire manager fitted in an internal cavity of the housing. The wire manager includes internal walls shaping a central channel, opposing edges on the internal walls defining a gate in the central channel, and tabs projecting from the gate in the central channel. The tabs define an upper portion and a lower portion in the gate. A strain relief member attaches to the wire manager in an intermediate position to partially restrain the telecommunications cable relative to the wire manager, and is restrained by the housing in a final position to completely restrain the telecommunications cable relative to the wire manager.

A connector assembly () is disclosed in which a connector part () and a cable manager part () are provided. The cable manager part () can be provided with a rear housing (), a lacing fixture part (), and a grounding part (). In one aspect, the grounding part () provides grounding contact between an inserted cable () and the connector part (). In one aspect, the grounding part () secures the connector part () to the rear housing part (). In one example, a connector assembly () is provided with a grounding arrangement () including a plurality of deflectable grounding members () and provides grounding contact between the inserted cable () and the connector part (). In one aspect, the grounding members () each provide two points of contact against the cable ().

A modular plug is disclosed as having a housing, a wire manager, an anti-snag protector, and a load bar each configured to snap-fit together to assemble the modular plug. The wire manager includes a front portion fitted within an internal cavity of the housing and a rear portion having an aperture configured to receive a terminal end of a telecommunications cable. The wire manager includes a plurality of channels, each channel having a gate configured to position a twisted pair of wires from the telecommunications cable in a stacked vertical arrangement.

Systems and methods for triggering emergency mass notifications include an EMNS activation service, a plurality of activation premises devices, a plurality of EMNS provider services, and a plurality of event personnel devices. The EMNS activation service includes a universal translator module that receives an event trigger signal relating to an emergency event from one of the activation premises devices. The universal translator module translates the event trigger signal to event-specific EMNS protocols of the EMNS providers. The EMNS activation service communicates the event-specific EMNS protocols to the EMNS providers, and communicates event data to event personnel devices based on a list of event personnel devices to be notified of an emergency event. An activation premises device includes a housing event with trigger controls for creating the event trigger signal, wherein these event trigger controls are inaccessible to users in the absence of an authorized access or an emergency access.

A telecommunications patch panel system () including a plurality of multiport telecommunications bezel assemblies () installed within a panel frame () is presented. The bezel assemblies () are formed from cooperating first and second frame parts () to define a plurality of jack receptacle openings (). In one example, the plurality of jack receptacles () are arranged in a two-row array. The first and second frame parts () also retain a central bonding strip () having a plurality of grounding contact elements (). The grounding contact elements () ground the jack modules () that are installed within the bezel assembly jack receptacle openings (). Where a two-row array of jack receptacle openings () is provided, the central bonding strip () can be configured to extend between the rows. The central bonding strip () can provide grounding for multiple bezel assemblies ().

A telecommunications panel has various features for removably mounting patching devices to the panel. The telecommunications panel includes mounting flanges and ramp elements for facilitating mounting and removal of patching devices. The ramp element is associated with a receptacle opening of the panel and configured to contact a flexible latch of the patching device and depress the flexible latch as the patching device is received in the receptacle opening.

An inline cable connector assembly connects one or more twisted pairs of wire leads of a first cable to one or more twisted pairs of wire leads to a second cable. The assembly includes first and second terminal housing parts, first and second wiring caps, and double ended insulation displacement contacts within the connector assembly.

Inline cable connector assembly and methods

A modular plug is disclosed as having a housing, a wire manager, a load bar, and a rear component each configured to snap-fit together to assemble the modular plug. The wire manager has a plurality of channels axially positioned about a central axis, each channel being configured to receive a twisted pair of wires from a telecommunications cable, and each channel having a first width and a gate having a second width smaller than the first width.

Flexible fingers for flexible printed circuits improve the crack resistance of prior art designs. The crack resistance can be improved by encapsulating the trace inside additional layers such that the outer two layers include only the lands of the through-hole, and all other copper is etched away. The crack resistance can also be improved with strategically adding copper on layers other than the trace layer including attaching is to the land of the through-hole as a stub. These two designs can be combined to include a stub trace into a four-layered design.
