Abstract: The cable assembly includes a first wire assembly. The first wire assembly is connected to a first connector and a second connector. The first connector includes a shell and the shell includes an extension. The extension extends away from the rear of the connector. In one embodiment, the extension is integral with the shell. The extension includes one or more openings. The first wire assembly is bent in a controlled manner at first bend. The first opening in the extension maintains the first wire assembly in the bent position to maintain control of the radius in first bend. The radius is controlled to allow the first wire assembly to fit in a small space.

Abstract: The cable attaches a first component and a second component using a quick disconnect connector pair. The cable includes a twisted pair of wires with a separate shield. A portion of the shielding near the connector is removed to expose the wires and assemble the wires to the connector. To reduce the EMI leakage, the inner shell encloses the exposed portions of the wires. In order to maintain the ground path for the shielding of the shielded twisted wire pairs, the shielding for the twisted wire pairs is connected to the shell. The outer shells facilitate the quick disconnect feature. The outer shell includes one or more slots. The slot allows a portion of the outer shell to become a cantilever beam. The beam deflects during disengagement and engagement with the outer shell.

Abstract: The device includes a body and a plurality of contact portions. The body is substantially planar. The plurality of contact portions are associated with the body so as to form ports. The plurality of contact portions are in electrical communication with the body. The port of each contact portion having an inside diameter substantially equal to ID1. The body and the contact portions are constructed of a conductive metallic material.

Abstract: This disclosure discloses a technology that enables a first set of electrical connectors hosted via a first carrier board to simultaneously engage with a second set of electrical connectors hosted via a second carrier board. This simultaneous engagement occurs based on a movement of the first carrier board toward the second carrier board, or vice versa, such that the first set of electrical connectors progressively engages and aligns with the second set of electrical connectors to enable signal communication therethrough. The movement of the first carrier board toward the second carrier board can be facilitated via a fastener.

Abstract: The electrical connector or device includes a first center contact, a first outer conductor, a first insulation material, a second center contact, a second outer conductor, a second insulation material, a spring, and a flexible wire. The first center contact has a longitudinal axis. The first insulation material is retained between the first center contact and the second outer conductor. The second center contact has a longitudinal axis. The second insulation material is retained between the second center contact and the second outer conductor. The longitudinal axis of the second center contact is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the first center contact. The spring is in contact with the first outer conductor and the second outer conductor. The flexible wire is attached to the first center contact and the second center contact.

Abstract: The expanded beam, fiber optic connector includes an optical fiber, and a ferrule. The optical fiber includes a modified mode field diameter segment. The ferrule includes a recess. The optical fiber is retained by the ferrule. The modified mode field diameter segment is positioned in the recess of the ferrule.

Abstract: The electrical connector includes a first block, a second block, a first support bead, a second support bead, and a wire. The first block includes a first groove and a first rib. The first block is metallized so as to conduct electricity. The second block includes a second groove and a second rib. The second block is metallized so as to conduct electricity. The first support bead does not conduct electricity. The second support bead does not conduct electricity. The wire conducts electricity. The first and second support beads support the wire. When the first rib of the first block is inserted into the second groove of the second block, then the first support bead, the second support bead, and the wire are retained between the first block and the second block.
