Abstract: The present invention relates to a release tab (37) for an electrical connector (1), comprising a body (38) and an unlocking nose (42) for unlatching a latch (13) securing the electrical connector (1) connected with a mating connector (2), as well as to an electrical connector (1) comprising a housing (4), a latch (13) for securing the housing (4) to a mating connector (2), the latch (13) extending from the housing (4), having an opening (19), as well as being transferable to an unlatched position, and a release tab (37) being arranged movable between a released position and an actuated position, and having an unlocking nose (42) extending into the opening (19) to transfer the latch (13) to the unlatched position when moving the release tab (37) from the released position to the actuated position.

Abstract: A tool for crimping a cable connector (6) comprises a first, U-shaped arm (3) which defines a seat in which the connector (6) may be accommodated in the working position; a second, compression arm (1) suitable for exerting a compression force on the connector (6), comprising a compression profile (5) at one end thereof, which, in turn, comprises a number of rotation pins which project laterally outwards from the compression profile (5) and are suitable for penetrating into corresponding holes in a branch of the first arm (3), to keep the second, compression arm (1) joined to the first arm (3).

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A connector for use in terminating communications cables including electrical contacts (42) arranged to receive wires (30) of a communications cable (60), at least one cover (12, 22) pivotally connected with the connector and having wire-receiving spaces (14, 24), wherein the cover is arranged to move pivotally to bring wires positioned in its wire-receiving spaces into engagement with the contacts (42).

Abstract: A RJ-45 plug having a wire holder for arranging conductors of a twisted pair cable between a position at which they are twisted and an end position where they contact contacts within the plug, the wire holder providing conductor paths in more than one plane.

Abstract: A cap (10) for a modular telecom connection jack assembly comprises a housing (12) including an aperture (14) to receive a cable (18) therethrough. A pair of jaws (20, 22) is operably associated with the housing (12) and movable relative to each other between an open configuration (Po) and a closed configuration (Pc). The relative positions of the jaws (20, 22) in the closed configuration (Pc) is determined by latch means operably associated with the jaws (20, 22) to limit relative movement of the jaws (20, 22). The cap (10) further comprises biasing means operably associated with the jaws (30, 32) to bias the jaws (20, 22) from the open configuration (Po) towards the closed configuration (Pc). The jaws (20, 22), in use, are movable to the open configuration (Po) to permit insertion of a cable (18) through the aperture (14) in the housing (12) and, on release, are caused to move by the biasing means towards the closed configuration (Pc) to clamp the cable (18) therebetween.
