  • Patent number: 7591667
    Abstract: A connector assembly or interface cassette (300), comprising a housing (304) comprising a jack interface (314), said jack interface having a receptacle jack (370) therein, said receptacle jack being configured to receive a plug; and a sensor bezel (20) removably attachable to said jack interface, said sensor bezel comprising a cavity extending therethrough to allow passage of a plug when inserted into said receptacle jack, said sensor bezel including a circuit board proximate said jack cavity, and at least one sensor contact (340) aligned with, and configured to engage, a sensor probe associated with a plug insertable into said receptacle jack, characterised in that the bezel includes connection means (22) accessible from the front of the bezel whereby the bezel can be electrically connected to a sensing component independently of any components inside the said housing.

  • Patent number: 6976867
    Abstract: A connector assembly includes a housing having a jack interface. The jack interface has a receptacle jack therein, and the receptacle jack is configured to receive a plug. A sensor bezel is removably attachable to the jack interface, and the sensor bezel comprises a cavity extending therethrough to allow passage of a plug when inserted into the receptacle jack. The sensor bezel includes a circuit board proximate the jack cavity. At least one sensor contact is aligned with, and configured to engage, a sensor probe associated with a plug insertable into the receptacle jack. An interchangeable output cassette provides an output signal through the front or the rear of the connector assembly.
