Abstract: Patch cords include a cable having eight conductors that are twisted together to form four differential pairs of conductors and a plug that is attached to the cable. The plug includes a housing, a printed circuit board, and respective first through eighth plug contacts that are electrically connected to the respective first through eighth conductors via respective first through eighth conductive paths on the printed circuit board. The plug contacts are arranged in a row in numerical order. The plug includes a wire guide that has a top shelf that extends above the printed circuit board and a bottom shelf that extends below the printed circuit board. Two of the differential pairs are routed into respective first and second channels in the top shelf and the other two of the differential pairs are routed into respective third and fourth channels in the bottom shelf.

Abstract: An antenna (28) for use in a wireless communication module (10) includes a shield plate (40), an antenna loop element (42), and a transmission line element (44). The wireless communication module (10) also includes a receiver (37) having a circuit board (30). The shield plate (40) is located on a first side (32) of the circuit board (30); and the antenna loop element (42) and the transmission line element (44) are located on an opposite side (34) of the circuit board (30). The shield plate (40) is electrically connected to a first loop end (50) of the antenna loop element (42). A capacitor (64) interconnects a second loop end (52) of the antenna loop element (42) to a first transmission line end (58) of the transmission line element (44). A second transmission line end (60) is electrically open.
