Publication number: 20240014600Abstract: The invention relates to a connector (1) for data connections, in particular of the RJ type, with a latch element (6) for securing a connection to a counter-connector. In order to simplify a disconnection of the connector (1) and the counter-connector, even when the connection is secured by the latch connection, the invention provides that the connector (1) is provided with a gripping end (5, 5?) that is adapted to transfer the latch element (6) from its latch position (L) and to disconnect the connector (1) from the counter-connector by a single movement.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 10, 2023Publication date: January 11, 2024Applicants: CommScope Technologies LLC, CommScope Connectivity Spain, S.L., CommScope Connectivity Belgium BVBAInventors: Longinos DE DIOS MARTIN, Danny THIJS, Sheldon MUIR

Publication number: 20220399686Abstract: A connector assembly (10) is disclosed in which a main body (12) and a latch member (30) are provided. In one aspect, the latch member (30) is formed as a spring and has a first portion (32) with a locking rib structure (38) that can be depressed towards the main body (12) to allow the connector assembly (10) to be inserted through a front side (102a) or a back side (102b) of an opening (102) in a panel (100). After insertion, the first portion (32) can then be released such that a retention structure (18) of the main body (12) and the locking rib structure (38) engage opposite ends of an opening (102) to secure the connector assembly (10) within the opening (102). The same connector (10) assembly (10) can be used with openings (102, 202, 302) of different sizes without modification.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 23, 2022Publication date: December 15, 2022Applicant: CommScope Connectivity Spain, S.L.Inventors: Longinos DE DIOS MARTÍN, Antonio CARRERAS GARCÍA

Patent number: 11509105Abstract: A connector assembly has a connector part and a cable manager part. The cable manager part can be provided with a separable lacing fixture that functions to retain the severed portions of the wires that result from the termination process, rather than allowing the severed wire portions to fall to the floor in an uncollected state. In one aspect, the cable manager part has a main body to which the separable lacing fixture is attached via a plurality of breakaway portions.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2020Date of Patent: November 22, 2022Assignee: CommScope Connectivity Spain, S.L.Inventors: Albert Font Aranega, Longinos De Dios Martín, Antonio Carreras Garciá

Publication number: 20210281009Abstract: A cover assembly (100) is disclosed that can be installed onto and removed from a telecommunications connector (200) without requiring the connector (200) from being removed from its mounted position and without requiring an associated cover plate (120) from being removed from its mounted position. The cover assembly (100) can include a base portion (150) that defines an opening that entirely surrounds a cover portion (110). In one example, the cover portion (110) is attached to the base portion (150) via a living hinge (118). In one aspect, the base portion (150) acts as a color cap while the cover portion (110) acts as a dust cover. In one example, the base portion (150) is provided without a cover portion (110) such that the cover assembly (100) simply acts as a color cap.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 19, 2021Publication date: September 9, 2021Applicant: CommScope Connectivity Spain, S.L.Inventor: Longinos DE DIOS MARTÍN

In one aspect, the cable manager part (20) has a main body (22) to which the separable lacing fixture (24) is attached via a plurality of breakaway portions (34). During installation, the connector part (12) is inserted onto the cable manager part (20) and is placed in a wire termination tool (7) which fully inserts the connector part (12) onto the cable manager part (20). This action causes the connector part (12) to cut the wires (6) and to sever or break the breakaway portions (34) such that the separable lacing fixture (24) is separated from the fully formed connector (10).Type: ApplicationFiled: September 21, 2020Publication date: May 13, 2021Inventors: Albert FONT ARANEGA, Longinos DE DIOS MARTÍN, Antonio CARRERAS GARCIÁ
