  • Publication number: 20030186591
    Abstract: A connector element for making a connection between electrical conductors in a network. The connector element has a front, a rear and a length between the front and the rear. The connector element includes a plurality of contact terminals arranged in at least one plane at the front of the connector element. The plurality of contact terminals are configured for connection with corresponding contact terminals of a mating connector element. The connector element includes a plurality of wire connector terminals arranged in first and second rows at substantially the rear of the connector element. The connector element also includes a plurality of leads, wherein each lead connects a corresponding wire connector terminal with a corresponding contact terminal. The plurality of leads include a plurality of layers of leads.

  • Patent number: 6599148
    Abstract: In the termination of signal cables with two or more wire pairs, it is customary to effect a clamping of the cable in order to relieve the strain on the wires themselves and the terminal connections. This, however, results in an uncontrollable re-arrangement of the wire pairs with associated interference between them. With the invention, this is avoided in that the termination or the strain-relieving element is configured with mutually separated lead-in passages for the individual wire pairs, and with associated clamping means for each of the wire pairs led through the passage. There is hereby achieved a well-controlled electrical separation between the wire pairs, and also an improved mechanical strain relief, i.e. by a primary clamping of the wire pairs themselves. By using a wedge part for insertion into the end of the cable, it can be ensured that the wire pairs extend from the end of the cable in an evenly inclining manner, whereby signal reflections from the area will be minimised.

  • Patent number: 6113418
    Abstract: A connector plug or jack element for a wire telecommunication system handling data with very high transmission capacity. A linear row of contact terminals is connected to wire connector terminals by leads internal to a cast block member which holds the leads in exact, fixed positions in a spatial or three-dimensional manner.

  • Patent number: 6102730
    Abstract: A connector element for telecommunications. The connector element includes a standardized group of contact terminals constructed to form a connection with corresponding terminals of a mating connector element. The connector element and the mating connector element together make up a connector for telecommunications. The connector element also includes a plurality of wire connector terminals, and leads that connect the contact terminals to the wire connector terminals. The leads are disposed and arranged in a three-dimensional manner, spaced not only laterally along the length of the connector, but also vertically. In one embodiment, the leads of the connector element are disposed and arranged so as to optimize the electrical transfer function of the connector by offsetting any coupling introduced by the mating connector element, so that the connector element when connected to the mating connector element forms a mated plug and jack connection having an optimized electrical performance.
