Publication number: 20140205240Abstract: A hybrid fiber/copper connector assembly which permits repair of damaged fibers or copper conductors carried by a hybrid fiber/copper cable without requiring replacement of the entire connector assembly or the cable is disclosed. The hybrid fiber/copper connector assembly disclosed also allows individual hybrid fiber/copper connectors of the assembly to be converted from one gender to a different gender. The hybrid fiber/copper connectors of the assembly include removable keying members mountable to housings of the connectors. The removable keying members allow gender conversion and proper mating and orientation. The hybrid fiber/copper connector assembly also allows the individual connectors of the assembly to be converted from being hybrid fiber/copper connectors to being only fiber connectors or only copper connectors.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 21, 2014Publication date: July 24, 2014Applicant: ADC TELECOMMUNICATIONS, INC.Inventors: Jarrod Scadden, M'hamed Anis Khemakhem, Jeffrey Louis Peters, Wayne M.

Patent number: 8731603Abstract: A radio frequency signal distribution module and panel for receiving such a module are disclosed. One module includes a housing having a front and a rear, a radio frequency signal input connection positioned on the rear of the housing, and a plurality of radio frequency signal output connections positioned on the rear of the housing. The module also includes a splitter within the housing and connecting the radio frequency signal input connection to the plurality of radio frequency signal output connections. Certain modules include an active attenuation component connected to and providing programmable attenuation of a radio frequency signal output connection from among the plurality of radio frequency signal output connections. Other modules include a data port on the housing, the data port configured to communicate information about radio frequency signals within the module to a computing system remote from the module.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2010Date of Patent: May 20, 2014Assignee: ADC Telecommunications, Inc.Inventors: M'hamed Anis Khemakhem, Steven Mark Swam, Jeffrey Louis Peters, Nasser Pooladian, James Stansbury

Patent number: 8360792Abstract: A coaxial switching jack with a pair of coaxial assemblies mounted within a housing having a pair of front openings. The coaxial assemblies each include a center conductor and a shell conductor. The center conductors are connected by a first spring and the shell conductors are connected by a second spring. Insertion of a coaxial cable connector within one of the front openings deflects the springs from the corresponding coaxial assembly and disconnects the center and shell conductors of the two assemblies. The jack may also be configured to provide an electrical connection between the center and shell conductors of the second coaxial assembly if a coaxial cable connector is inserted within the first coaxial assembly. The connection between the center and shell conductors of the second coaxial assembly may allow for selection of a desired electrical impedance.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2011Date of Patent: January 29, 2013Assignee: ADC Telecommunications, Inc.Inventors: M'hamed Anis Khemakhem, Jeffrey Louis Peters, Duane Sand
