  • Publication number: 20240221976
    Abstract: A hybrid cable including: a jacket portion; a duct portion configured to be located inside the jacket portion; and an electrical conductor configured to be located inside the jacket portion. The electrical conductor is configured to be located outside of the duct portion; the electrical conductor and the duct portion extend substantially parallel to each other in the jacket portion; the duct portion is configured to be installed in the jacket portion in an empty state of the duct portion in which no wire or cable is in the duct portion; and the duct portion is configured to be loaded with fiber optic cable before, during, and after the hybrid cable is installed at an installation site so as to allow an installer to install an installation required number of fiber optic cables in the duct portion, thereby avoiding installation of unneeded fiber optic cable.

  • Patent number: 10637196
    Abstract: A modular jack connector compensates for plug characteristics via a controlled primary compensation in the immediate vicinity of the connector interface. A jack contact assembly is positioned within a jack housing and includes first and second sets of elongate contacts each having a plug contact portion and a signal output portion. Each elongate contact is configured such that their respective plug contact portions are coplanar and a signal path is defined between their plug contact portions and their signal output portions. A flexible circuit board is coupled proximate to the plug contact portions, and configured to provide capacitance compensation between respective contacts engaged thereby, wherein the capacitance compensation is offset from a signal path defined between the plug contact portions and the corresponding signal output portions.

  • Patent number: 10530106
    Abstract: A modular RJ45-type plug apparatus is provided for forming a connector interface with a connector jack in a high speed data transmission network. A housing comprises an insulative front portion and a conductive shield portion attachable to define an interior, within which is positioned a contact subassembly including a first PCB having cable mounting pads on one end and through holes for elongate plug contacts on the other end. The contacts are connected on one end to the first PCB and on a second end to a second PCB, with bridge portions therebetween collectively defining a jack contact interface. The second PCB comprises desired electrical characteristics which provide the apparatus with certain capacitance compensation properties, wherein the capacitance compensation is offset from a signal path defined between the jack-plug connector interface and the cable pairs.
