Patent number: 10254488Abstract: A self-cleaning optical fiber connector system for ensuring dust or contaminants are cleared from an optical connection interface is disclosed. In one aspect, the optical fiber connector system includes a connector joining first and second connectors. The adapter has a main body defining a central opening within which the connectors are received. The connectors each include a fiber optic cable secured by a ferrule. In one aspect, the ferrule defines an airflow passageway that narrows between a second opening and a first opening proximate an end face of the cable optical core and cladding. The connectors are constructed such that, as each connector is being inserted into the connector, an air flow is generated through the ferrule airflow passageway, and optionally through an exhaust airflow passageway in the connector. The generated airflow clears debris from the exposed end faces. Electrostatic precipitation may also be used to aid in clearing dust and debris, alone or in combination with air flow effects.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2018Date of Patent: April 9, 2019Assignee: CommScope Connectivity Spain, S.LInventors: Jorge Gatnau Navarro, Maria Maqueda Gonzalez, Montserrat Blanch Morella, Rafael Mateo Ferrus, Jaime Pelai Torija

Patent number: 10230205Abstract: Telecommunications jacks and methods of their use and construction are described. One telecommunications jack is adapted to receive a plug, and includes a housing defining a port for receiving the plug, as well as consecutively arranged contact springs adapted to make electrical contact with the plug when the plug is inserted into the port of the housing along a first axis. The jack includes wire termination contacts for terminating wires to the jack, and a circuit board arrangement including first and second circuits, the circuit board arrangement including a circuit board moveable in a direction non-parallel with the first axis between first and second positions. In the first position the circuit board electrically connects contact springs to wire termination contacts in a first configuration, and in the second position the circuit board connects contact springs to wire termination contacts in a second configuration.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2016Date of Patent: March 12, 2019Assignee: CommScope Connectivity Spain, S.L.Inventors: Jorge Gatnau Navarro, Arturo Pachón, Maria Maqueda Gonzalez, Albert Font Aranega, Jose Jamie Sanabra Jansa

Patent number: 10056703Abstract: A telecommunications plug includes a housing having an insertion portion sized to be received in a telecommunications jack, and a circuit board at least partially disposed within the housing. The circuit board includes a plurality of contacts exposed through the insertion portion to electrically connect to contact springs of the telecommunications jack and a plurality of wire connections receiving wires of a telecommunications cable. The plug further includes a switching mechanism movable relative to the circuit board and configured to switch between first and second positions, wherein the first and second positions selectably provide capacitive crosstalk between wire pairs within the plug.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2014Date of Patent: August 21, 2018Assignee: CommScope Connectivity Spain, S.L.Inventors: Jorge Gatnau Navarro, Maria Maqueda Gonzalez, Andres Martinez Garcia, Arturo Pachon Munoz, Jose Jaime Sanabra Jansa, Rafael Mateo Ferrus
