Abstract:
Disclosed is a connecting module (1) which is to be used in telecommunication and data technology and comprises a housing (2), electric contacts for connecting wires and/or cables, and at least one fastening element (7) that allows the connecting module (1) to be fixed to an assembly frame. Said fastening element (7) is embodied at least in two parts, encompassing a first fastening piece (8) and a second fastening piece (9). The connecting module (1) can be put on the assembly frame by means of the first fastening piece (8) and can be locked on the assembly frame with the aid of the second fastening piece (9).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a jack assembly including a jack mount with a jack receiving region. A jack is adapted to be slidably mounted in the jack receiving region. The jack includes a jack body formed of a dielectric material and a plurality of electrically conductive tip and ring springs. The jack body defines a plurality of bores sized to receive plugs having tip and ring contacts. The jack assembly further includes a plurality of cross-connect contacts and a rear interface assembly including a dielectric support. A plurality of rear connectors project outward from the dielectric support, and a circuit board is positioned between the jack mount and the dielectric support. The circuit board provides connections between the cross-connect contacts and the normal contacts. An electrical interface between the jack and the circuit board is configured such that when the jack is removed from the jack mount, the jack is automatically disconnected from the circuit board.
Abstract:

Abstract:
A coaxial module (40) includes a conductive housing, front and rear coaxial connectors (51), and circuitry disposed within the housing including a removable surge protector device (100). The circuitry within the housing includes a circuit board (80), including a cutout (90). Disposed within the cutout is the surge protector device. The surge protector device includes pins for mounting to an edge mount (86) of the circuit board, and the housing includes a removable cover (58) to allow access to the cutout and the surge protector device.
Abstract:
A switching coax jack module and jack component provide for a removable DSX jack which can be slid into and out of the front of a jack module housing without disconnecting other components of the jack module and without disconnecting the module from a chassis. The jack includes a projecting post, and two rear ports. The post and rear ports cooperate with a rear interface unit including two projecting plugs, and a port for the post. The rear interface unit may include a switch activated by the post for disconnecting two of the rear connectors of the module when the jack is mounted to the module and engaged with the rear interface unit.
Abstract:
A coaxial switching jack (12) with a pair of coaxial assemblies (124) mounted within a housing (100) having a pair of front openings (112) . The coaxial assemblies each include a center conductor (125) and a shell conductor (123) . The center conductors are connected by a first spring (130) and the shell conductors are connected by a second spring (116) . Insertion of a coaxial cable connector within one of the front openings deflects the springs from the corresponding coaxial assembly and disconnects the center and shell conductors of the two assemblies. The jack may also be configured to provide an electrical connection between the center and shell conductors of the second coaxial assembly if a coaxial cable connector is inserted within the first coaxial assembly. The connection between the center and shell conductors of the second coaxial assembly may allow for selection of a desired electrical impedance .
Abstract:
A network interface device (NID) for a fiber optic communications network is provided for housing optical, electrical and/or coaxial connections and active and/or passive components. The NID includes a base and a movable panel defining a connection area and a components area. In one embodiment, a first base defines a first compartment for housing the panel and a second base defining a second compartment for storing drop cable slack, the first base being movably attached to the second base to provide access to the drop cable slack without disturbing the connections. In another embodiment, the panel defines a first compartment for optical and electrical connections and a second compartment for active and passive components, the second compartment being accessible to only the service provider. In another embodiment, the panel is removable and interchangeable to permit the service provider to upgrade the services or to expand services provided to a subscriber.
