Abstract: A connector includes a housing having a mating end, a wire receiving end and a longitudinal axis therethrough. The housing holds a plurality of contacts grouped in pairs and arranged about the axis. At least one shielding member is located within the housing. The at least one shielding member isolates each contact pair from an adjacent contact pair. An organizer is configured for attachment to the wire receiving end of the housing. The organizer defines a central opening that receives a plurality of signal wires. The organizer includes a plurality of wire guides arranged about the central opening. Each wire guide receives one of the signal wires.

Abstract: An electrical connector includes a housing, a printed circuit board (PCB), and a plurality of contacts. The housing includes a mating end and a wire receiving end. The PCB is mounted within the housing and has an opening formed therethrough. The plurality of contacts is configured to extend from the PCB. The opening is configured to receive a second electrical connector configured to mate with the electrical connector.

Abstract: A connector includes a housing having a mating end, a wire receiving end, and a longitudinal axis therethrough. The housing holds a plurality of contacts grouped in differential pairs and arranged about the axis. At least one shielding member is located within the housing. The shielding member isolates each differential contact pair from an adjacent differential contact pair.

Abstract: In one aspect, the invention provides a method of enriching a pool of nucleic acid duplexes for heteroduplexes containing sequences that vary from those of a reference DNA population. A mixture of test sequences, that is, nucleic acids suspected of containing one or more mutations or rare alleles, and corresponding reference sequences are denatured and reassociated so that duplexes form comprising heteroduplexes and homoduplexes. In accordance with one aspect of the invention, whenever a subset of heteroduplexes contains mismatched sequences, the mismatches are corrected so that the sequences of strands from the test population are preserved, or selected. The preserved or selected sequences may then be denatured and reassociated with additional sequences from the reference population to once again form duplexes comprising homoduplexes and heteroduplexes, thereby generating an enriched population of variant sequences.

Abstract: An out of band communications apparatus includes first and second data lines arranged in a differential pair. The data lines convey high speed data within a first frequency range and out of band data within a second frequency range that differs from the first frequency range. The apparatus also includes a band pass filter coupled to the first and second data lines. The filter only passes the out of band data and blocks the high speed data. The apparatus also includes a device coupled to the band pass filter and configured to at least one of transmit and receive out of band data.

Abstract: A cable management system includes an equipment system, and at least one patch panel having a connectivity interface. The connectivity interface is configured to connect with at least one cable extending from the equipment system. The cable management system also includes a manifold configured to be located between the equipment system and the patch panel. The manifold includes an inlet and an outlet, and the manifold is configured to direct the at least one cable from the equipment system to the connectivity interface.

Abstract: A cable management system is provided having a patch panel and a wire manager. The patch panel has a first connectivity interface configured to connect with electronics cables. The wire manager is located proximate the patch panel and has a body with a curved interior contour. The wire manager is oriented in a non-orthogonal relation to the patch panel such that the body of the wire manager extends rearward at a non-orthogonal angle from the first connectivity interface. Wire managers may be mounted on opposite sides of the patch panel and oriented such that the wire managers and patch panels form a C-shape.

Abstract: A patch panel system is provided that comprises a frame, a patch panel and connector ports. The patch panel is attached to the frame and has first and second connectivity interfaces. The first connectivity interface has multiple sections joined to form an N-sided portion of a polygon where N is greater than 2. The connector ports are provided at the first connectivity interface. The sections of the first connectivity interface have planar front surfaces that are oriented at obtuse angles to one another.
