Patent number: 7200205Abstract: An interface device and method for testing a telecommunication circuit by utilizing a test cord that has a first end that is integrated with the interface device and a second end that terminates with a test connector. Upon insertion of the test connector into a test port of a connectivity block, the interface device may be configured to allow for monitoring of the telecommunication circuit, without disrupting the circuit. Similarly, the interface device may be configured to disrupt the telecommunication circuit and allow a user to examine both sides of the circuit.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2003Date of Patent: April 3, 2007Assignee: ADC IncorporatedInventors: John Matuszewski, Jeffrey Blatnik, Richard Wolf

Patent number: 7187766Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and systems for minimizing alien crosstalk between connectors. Specifically, the methods and systems relate to isolation and compensation techniques for minimizing alien crosstalk between connectors for use with high-speed data cabling. A frame can be configured to receive a number of connectors. Shield structures may be positioned to isolate at least a subset of the connectors from one another. The connectors can be positioned to move at least a subset of the connectors away from alignment with a common plane. A signal compensator may be configured to adjust a data signal to compensate for alien crosstalk. The connectors are configured to efficiently and accurately propagate high-speed data signals by, among other functions, minimizing alien crosstalk.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2004Date of Patent: March 6, 2007Assignee: ADC IncorporatedInventor: Bernard Hammond, Jr.

Patent number: 7155004Abstract: A system and method for delivering digital subscriber line (DSL) service to a subscriber from a remote terminal of a telephone network. Included is a first route for delivering a telephone signal to the subscriber, and a second route for passing the telephone signal through a DSL system before delivering the signal to the subscriber. A disruptor is then used to selectively activate either the first or second route.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2002Date of Patent: December 26, 2006Assignee: ADC IncorporatedInventors: Bryan K. Kennedy, Richard Wolf

Patent number: 7049519Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved isolated core or insulated conductor with a low dielectric constant and reduced materials costs. Apparatuses and methods of manufacturing the improved isolated core or insulated conductor are also disclosed. Twisted wire pairs having first and second wires, each of the first and second wires including a conductor and polymeric insulator surrounding the conductor are also disclosed. The polymeric insulators have channels that run along the length of the conductor. The conductors have exterior surfaces exposed to gas within the channels.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2005Date of Patent: May 23, 2006Assignee: ADC IncorporatedInventors: David Wiekhorst, Spring Stutzman, Jeff Stutzman, Scott Juengst, Fred Johnston, Jim L. Dickman, Robert Kenny

Publication number: 20050279528Abstract: The present invention relates to cables made of twisted conductor pairs. More specifically, the present invention relates to twisted pair communication cables for high-speed data communications applications. A twisted pair including at least two conductors extends along a generally longitudinal axis, with an insulation surrounding each of the conductors. The conductors are twisted generally longitudinally along the axis. A cable includes at least two twisted pairs and a filler. At least two of the cables are positioned along generally parallel axes for at least a predefined distance. The cables are configured to efficiently and accurately propagate high-speed data signals by, among other functions, limiting at least a subset of the following: impedance deviations, signal attenuation, and alien crosstalk along the predefined distance.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 23, 2005Publication date: December 22, 2005Applicant: ADC IncorporatedInventors: Robert Kenny, Stuart Reeves, Keith Ford, John Grosh, Spring Stutzman, Roger Anderson, David Wiekhorst, Fred Johnston
