  • Configurable interface connector
    Patent number: 6190192
    Abstract: A communications infrastructure connector system comprises a pair of engageable hermaphroditic connector units. Each unit can house a plurality of connectors which mate with corresponding connectors of the other unit. Each unit has a handle comprising a pair of eccentrically mounted pivot arms. On movement of the handles of the two connector units towards one another, an arcuate portion each handle comes into contact with the same portion of the other handle. The eccentric mounting causes the two connector units to be forced apart.

  • Crosstalk correction in electrical connectors
    Patent number: 6106335
    Abstract: Two rows of insulation displacement contacts are received in a connector housing. The contacts each comprise an insulation displacement end, a medial portion and a tail end. The medial portions are arranged across the housing body in grooves and the tail portions of the two rows extend from the housing in a common plane. Two non-proximate contacts of each row are connected at their medial portions by a capacitative coupling member which may comprise a chip capacitor or a pair of conducting plates connected by a bridge portion.
