  • Patent number: 5586911
    Abstract: An electrical shielded data connector includes an inner terminal support housing (4, 404, 520) carrying a plurality of electrical terminals such as (30, 560) where the terminal support housing includes shield members (130, 160; 330, 360; 460; 516, 518) surrounding the terminal support housing (4, 404, 520). The shielded sub-assembly is insertable into an outer housing (70; 512, 514) and is latchably attached therein and a rear support plate (95) and cable support member (110) can be assembled around a cable after the termination of the multi-conductor cable. The cable support member (110) can be positioned in one of two orientations to provide for either a straight through or an angled cable exit. A cross talk shield (200, 524) is positioned in a stuffer cap (180, 522) and is situated between adjacent terminals (30, 560) when in the final position. Another cross talk shield (220, 320) is positioned in a slot (50, 450) intermediate the terminals (30) at the lower side thereof.

  • Patent number: 5531612
    Abstract: A modular jack assembly for mounting to a printed circuit board, is shown comprising a plurality of modular jacks assembled to a common integral housing and disposed in back-to-back mirror image symmetry. Shielding, is provided around the connector assembly and shielding between the two rows is also provided for suppressing cross-talk therebetween. The design is compact, providing for a large number of ports without increasing the length of the connector assembly, whilst also providing good access to the resilient locking latches of complementary modular plugs received by the jacks.

  • Patent number: 5372520
    Abstract: An electrical shielded data connector includes an inner terminal support housing carrying a plurality of electrical terminals such as where the terminal support housing includes a shielded assembly surrounding the terminal support housing. The shielded sub-assembly is insertable into an outer housing and is latchably attached therein and a rear support plate and cable support member are barred by part tide in nature and can be assembled around the cable after the termination of the multi conductor cable. The cable clamp portion can be positioned in one of two orientations to provide for either a straight through or an angled cable exit.
