Abstract: In a method and a signal distribution arrangement for use in private dwellings or offices, communication and multimedia signals are distributed by means of a connection arrangement (27) which is connected to a plurality of terminals (1–8) in the rooms (25, 26) of the dwelling or the office. The individual terminals are preferably identical and may be connected between the terminals and the consuming apparatus via a cable with a plug at each end which is adapted to the terminals and a consuming apparatus, respectively. The signal distribution arrangement includes a plurality of signal processing circuits (31–33) which have wire connections (patch cables) that may be connected to a patch panel (1–23), each of which is either connected to the terminals or is prepared to be connected to the new terminals.

Abstract: An electrical cable for the transmission of high-frequency signals via signal lines (6, 7, 6A, 7A) in the cable has a dielectric profile (1A) for receiving strip-shaped conductors (6, 7, 6A, 7A) in the longitudinal direction of the cable as the signal lines. The strip-shaped conductors have main contours in cross section that extend partially around effective centers of the magnetic fields created by electric currents through the signal lines.

Abstract: A method of reducing signal cross talk during coupling in a connector for the transfer of balanced electrical high frequency signals provides a connector with contact springs (5) and terminals (4) as well as first and second non-co-axial pairs of first and second conductors (A+, A−), (D+, D−) arranged in an insulation member (9) to connect the contact springs (5) and the terminals (4) for respectively transferring the balanced signals. The conductors (A+, A−), (D+, D−) of each of the pairs are respectively in two spaced layers.
