Abstract: A communication connector has an outer housing with an opening, a shielding wrap at least partially enclosing the outer housing, and a contact carrier assembly configured to be interested into the opening of the outer housing. The contact carrier assembly at least partially encloses at least two contacts each with an insulation displacement contact (IDC). The contact carrier assembly also has an integrated wire cap that utilizes a hinge feature to press cable conductors of a cable into their respective IDCs.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are various communications systems allowing for multiple contacts points between plug contacts in a communications plug and plug interface contacts (PICs) in a communications jack. In some disclosed implementations, a communications plug including a first and a second plug contact mated with a communications jack having a first and a second plug PIC may form a plurality of plug/jack interfaces. The plug/jack interfaces may form multiple current paths between the communications plug and the communications jack. When a signal propagates between the communications plug and the communications jack, it may be split in the communications plug between a first current path and a second current path, and recombined in the communications jack after traveling through the plurality of plug/jack interfaces.

Abstract: Various implementations of communications connectors are disclosed. In some implementations, a communications connector, such as a communications plug, may include a plug body and a termination sled positioned at least partially in the plug body. The termination sled may include a printed circuit board (PCB) having a front section, a rear section, and a connecting section connecting the front section and the rear section. In some implementations, a communications cord may include a communications plug having a conductive shell and PCB assembly. The PCB assembly may include a PCB, front and rear load bars, and a shielded divider.

Abstract: A communications connector has a main plug assembly and a wire cap that is configured to terminate a pair of conductors to the pair of contacts by being secured to a side of the main plug assembly in a direction perpendicular to a plane defined by a deflection direction of a latch of the connector. In another embodiment, a communications connector has a main plug assembly and two electrical contacts within the main plug assembly wherein each electrical contact has a first end having a forked receptacle and a second end having an IDC that is configured to have a conductor terminated in a direction perpendicular to a direction of mating insertion and parallel to a plane defined by the contact.

Abstract: A communications connector has a shielded jack body and a wire cap. The shielded jack body has a single pair of plug interface contacts having a first thickness and a single pair of insulation displacement having a second smaller thickness. The plug interface contacts are configured to electrically connect to the insulation displacement contacts. The wire cap is configured to terminate a pair of conductors to the pair of insulation displacement contacts by being secured to the sheilded jack body in a direction perpendicular to a direction of an insertion of an associated connector.
