An assembly configured to receive twisted pairs of conductors terminated by a miniplug and a pair of conductor contacts. The assembly comprises a housing comprising a first surface comprising a socket disposed therein; wherein the socket is configured to accept a plurality of miniplugs, illustratively in a 2×2 configuration, wherein pairs of socket contacts are exposed along at least one side wall of the socket and wherein the socket contacts are configured to be aligned with the conductor contacts such that each of the conductor contacts is in contact with a respective one of the socket contacts. A caddy is also provided which allows the miniplugs to be arranged in a 2×2 arrangement for subsequent insertion into a socket or the like.

Single pair ethernet (SPE) connector and system

An apparatus for maintaining cross-talk below a predetermined threshold is disclosed. The apparatus comprises cable mating zone for connecting each of a first set of contact pairs with a respective twisted pair of cable conductors, a device mating zone for connecting each of a second set of contact pairs with a respective pair of device contacts and an intermediate transmission zone for connecting each of the first set of contact pairs with a respective one of the second set of contact pairs. In each of the zones the cross talk noise is prevented from exceeding a predetermined cross talk noise threshold.

Compensating connector system

A patch panel assembly, bezel and modular jacks are disclosed which allow modular jacks to be positioned closer together to increase patch panel density. In particular the modular jacks are equipped with features which engage openings which are offset, allowing for the modular jacks to be positioned closer together, in particular when arranged in adjacent parallel rows.

Patch panel assembly

A compensating plug connector comprising a plug, a receptacle mating zone, a cable mating zone and an intermediate zone. Each of the zones is such that Near End Cross Talk (NEXT) resulting from transmission of the high frequency signal across each zone is below a specified amount chosen such that NEXT introduced by a high frequency signal transmission between via all the zones is below a level as specified for the cabling category.

A compensating receptacle connector and for terminating a cable assembly of a cabling category and comprising a plug mating zone, a cable mating zone and an intermediate zone. Each of the zones is such that Near End Cross Talk (NEXT) resulting from transmission of the high frequency signal across each zone is below a specified amount chosen such that NEXT introduced by a high frequency signal transmission between via all the zones is below a level as specified for the cabling category.

A connector and assembly of a cabling category and comprising two mating zones connected by an intermediate zone. Each of the zones is manufactured such that Near End Cross Talk (NEXT) resulting from transmission of the high frequency signal across each zone is below a specified amount chosen such that NEXT introduced by a high frequency signal transmission between via all the zones is below a level as specified for the cabling category.

An assembly comprising a cable terminator comprising a wire guide, a cube shaped securing cap comprising an open end for installation over the wire guide, and pairs of piercing contacts for piercing respective conductors of the cable. When assembled, an outer end of each of the piercing contacts is exposed on an outer surface of a respective securing cap sidewall. The assembly also comprises a coupler connector comprising one of a modular (for example RJ-45 compatible) socket or a modular (for example RJ-45 compatible) plug, a rearward surface comprising a cable terminator receiving socket, wherein pairs of contacts are exposed along at least one side wall of the socket, and further wherein each of a plurality of the tines in the modular socket or the terminal contacts of the plug is interconnected with a respective one of the contacts.

Coupler connector and cable terminator with side contacts

A tool comprising a receptacle for receiving and holding a cable terminating assembly comprising a plurality of conductors and a plurality of piercing contacts, the tool comprising a pair of handles which actuate opposed presses and blades, the presses pushing the piercing contacts into the conductors while the blades trim the ends of the conductors.

Cable assembly tool

A method of manufacturing a connector and assembly of a cabling category and comprising two mating zones connected by an intermediate zone. Each of the zones is manufactured such that Near End Cross Talk (NEXT) resulting from transmission of the high frequency signal across each zone is below a specified amount chosen such that NEXT introduced by a high frequency signal transmission between via all the zones is below a level as specified for the cabling category.

Method of maintaining cross talk in different zones of an assembly for interconnecting a cable

Adapter for patch panel assembly

An assembly comprising a cable terminator comprising a wire guide, a cube shaped securing cap comprising an open end for installation over the wire guide, and pairs of piercing contacts for piercing respective conductors of the cable. When assembled, an outer end of each of the piercing contacts is exposed on an outer surface of a respective securing cap sidewall. The assembly also comprises a coupler connector comprising one of a modular (for example RJ-45 compatible) socket or a modular (for example RJ-45 compatible) plug, a rearward surface comprising a cable terminator receiving socket, wherein pairs of contacts are exposed along at least one side wall of the socket, and further wherein each of a plurality of the tines in the modular socket or the terminal contacts of the plug is interconnected with a respective one of the contacts. When the cable terminator is inserted into the cable terminator receiving socket, each of the piercing contacts comes into contact with a respective one of the contacts, thereby interconnecting each of the tines (or each of the terminal contacts) with a respective one of the conductors. A back-to-back connector is also disclosed.

A door assembly for attachment to a connector housing is shown. The door assembly comprises a pair of opposed doors mounted on either side of an opening by a hinge, which when in a closed position define a cable receiving opening there between. Supports are provided on either door which grip the of cable therebetween when the doors are in the closed position. In a particular embodiment a locking mechanism is provided to retain the doors in a closed.

Hinged connector door assembly

An adaptor for receiving a keystone type connector and insertion into a patch panel is provided, having a bottom wall with a ridge engaging lower slot and a lower edge engaging channel and a top wall having a flexible tab and a cantilevered latch engaging upper slot and an upper edge engaging channel in the flexible tab. The walls define a keystone modular jack receiving region and opening. The adaptor is dimensioned such that when the lower edge is received in the lower edge engaging channel, the upper edge is releasably engageable by the upper edge engaging channel, thereby releasably securing the adaptor within an aperture in a patch panel.
