  • Patent number: 11462861
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an electrical shielding member that includes a receiving portion for receiving a cable end of a shielded cable at least partially, wherein the receiving portion is adapted to be in contact with a shielding of the cable, and wherein the receiving portion comprises at least one coupling element, protruding outwardly from the receiving portion. The coupling element is adapted to be coupled to a corresponding coupling element of a network connector housing. The electrical shielding member further comprises an engagement element, protruding inwardly into the receiving portion, wherein the engagement element is adapted to be engaged with the cable. The electrical shielding member further comprises at least one contact beam, extending from the receiving portion, wherein the contact beam is adapted to be electrically connected to a counter electrical shielding member of a counter connector.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10594086
    Abstract: An electrical shielding member for a network connector includes a receiving portion for receiving a cable end of a shielded cable and a contact beam extending from the receiving portion. The contact beam has a first contact point for electrically connecting the electrical shielding member to a counter shielding member of a counter network connector, and a coupling portion, provided at a distal end of the contact beam. The coupling portion is configured to be coupled to a corresponding coupling portion of a network connector housing. The network connector is configured for network communication at data rates of at least 100 megabits per second (Mbit/s) and preferably at least 1 gigabits per second (Gbit/s).
