Abstract:
A curved or patch panel is provided that is configured to be mounted to a rack or console. The curved or arcuate patch panel facilitates cable management functions and enhances space utilization at and around the rack/patch panel assembly. The curved or arcuate patch panel includes an curved or arcuate patch panel element exhibiting a peak region, preferably located at the center of the curved or arcuate patch panel. The curved or arcuate patch panel also includes flange members that extend from the curved or arcuate patch panel element that define a mounting face for the curved or arcuate patch panel. Optionally the first and second flange units further define an extension arm that is intermediate to the mounting face and the curved or arcuate patch panel element. The extension arm is dimensioned to facilitate at least partial recessing of the curved or arcuate patch panel relative to the rack/console when the curved or arcuate patch panel is mounted thereto.
Abstract:
A plug-in Wi-Fi access point device and system is provided that is configured for Wi-Fi or other wireless network and to be directly plugged into a face plate/workstation. The plug-in Wi-Fi access point device and system advantageously provides ease of integration into an existing wired network without the use of a patch cord, security from removal by unauthorized personnel, non obtrusiveness in relation to other face plate/workstation jacks, and the ability to be powered through an Ethernet connection to avoid the need for a separate power source. Furthermore, the plug-in Wi-Fi access point device and system may beneficially permit the integration of complementary connections within the access point including, for example, data, voice, and video connection types. The plug-in Wi-Fi access point device includes a housing for accommodating Wi-Fi access point circuitry, Wi-Fi access point circuitry mounted within the housing, and a connector mounted on side of the housing for direct plug-in into an Ethernet jack of a face plate/workstation. The plug-in Wi-Fi access point device may further include a locking or self-locking mechanism, an integrated hub/switch/router, and at least one integrated voice, video and/or data jack for voice, video or data communication.
Abstract:
An apparatus/system for use in coupling power from a power supply to a device over a network transmission medium is provided. The coupling apparatus/system generally includes one or more common mode chokes that feature a first winding and a second winding, the first winding being electrically connected between the first terminal of the power supply and the first electrical conductor of the network transmission medium, and the second winding being coupled between the first terminal of the power supply and the first electrical conductor of the network transmission medium. The common mode choke generally includes at least one core for coupling the first and second windings of the one or more common mode chokes. An RJ45 to 110 DDC modular connector may be connected to a printed circuit board used to transfer high speed signals for telecommunication interface media connections. The printed circuit board is configured to help reduce near-end crosstalk (NEXT) without compromising impedance. DC power is coupled upon the signal line by utilizing a wideband high impedance common mode choke design.
Abstract:
Shielded connector assemblies for use in wiring/cabling applications are disclosed. The connector assemblies include first and secon jack openings that facilitate interaction between plugs that feature different contact layouts/alignments. Cable/plug combinations are also provided wherein the cable features shielded twisted pair, fully shielded twisted pair and unshielded twisted pair wires. The cable/plug interface includes a housing wherein individual wires are brought into electrical communication with electrical contacts that are exposed relative to the exterior of the housing. The electrical contacts are positioned in quadrants of the plug housing, when view in cross-section, such that the plug complies with the contact geometry set forth in the IEC 60603-7-7 standard. The cable/plug is generally a preterminated assembly, whereby the plug is pre-mounted to the cable before shipment to an installation location or distribution channel.
Abstract:
An insert device for use in a communica-tion jack includes a housing, and plug interface contacts mounted with respect to the housing. At least one plug in-terface contact includes a first length extent extending along a first axial path and defining a first reaction surface that includes a first electrically conductive surface. The in-sert device includes a reactance unit having a reactance circuit operable to reduce or compensate for an electrical noise associated with signals conducted by the plug inter-face contacts, and a plurality of interconnection elements. At least one interconnection element defines a second re-action surface that includes a second electrically conduc-tive surface. The insert device moves the reactance circuit relative to the plug interface contact by sliding the second reaction surface across the first reaction surface, and press-es the second electrically conductive surface against the first electrically conductive surface.
Abstract:
Se describen ensambles conectores forrados para utilizar en aplicaciones de hilos/de cables. Los ensambles conectores incluyen una primera y segunda aberturas de conexión que facilitan la interacción entre enchufes que destacan diferentes distribuciones/alineaciones de contacto, por ejemplo, un primer enchufe que destaca una distribución del contacto CAT5/CAT6 y un segundo enchufe que destaca una distribución del contacto de acuerdo con el estándar IEC 60603-7-7. Las combinaciones de cable/enchufe se proporcionan además donde el cable destaca un hilos de par trenzado forrado (STP), de par trenzado completamente forrado (FTP) y de par trenzado sin forrar (UTP). La interfaz de cable/enchufe incluye un alojamiento donde los hilos individuales se introducen en comunicación eléctrica con los contactos eléctricos que se encuentran expuestos en relación con el exterior del alojamiento. Los contactos eléctricos se colocan en cuadrantes del alojamiento del enchufe cuando se observe en sección transversal, para que el enchufe cumpla con la geometría del contacto establecida en el estándar IEC 60603-7-7. El cable/enchufe es por lo general un ensamble predeterminado, con el que el enchufe se monta previamente al cable antes de enviarse a un sitio de instalación o canal de distribución. Puede proporcionarse un ensamble de ojal de tracción que defina una cavidad dimensionada y configurada para recibir el alojamiento del enchufe y una porción del cable.

Shielded connector assemblies for use in wiring/cabling applications are disclosed. The connector assemblies include first and second jack openings that facilitate interaction between plugs that feature different contact layouts/alignments, e.g., a first plug that features a conventional CAT 5/CAT 6 contact layout and a second plug that features a contact layout according to the IEC 60603-7-7 standard. Cable/plug combinations are also provided wherein the cable features shielded twisted pair (STP) fully shielded twisted pair (FTP) and unshielded twisted pair (UTP) wires. The cable/plug interface includes a housing wherein individual wires are brought into electrical communication with electrical contacts that are exposed relative to the exterior of the housing. The electrical contacts are positioned in quadrants of the plug housing, when viewed in cross-section, such that the plug complies with the contact geometry set forth in the IEC 60603-7-7 standard. The cable/plug is generally a preterminated assembly, whereby the plug is pre-mounted to the cable before shipment to an installation location or distribution channel. A pulling eye assembly may be provided that defines a cavity sized and configured to receive the plug housing and a portion of the cable.
