  • Publication number: 20060246784
    Abstract: The present disclosure is related to a multiport adapter for a telecommunication connector system that is designed to reduce EMI from outside sources, as well as, between adjacent ports by electrical isolation design. The reduction of EMI is done by non-conventional methods of connecting hardware shielding techniques. The shield design surrounds all the internal pairs within the plug housing to reduce the transmitted signals EM radiation during transmission and it does not make contact with the modular connector plug, horizontal cable or the plastic support adapter housing. By isolating each component in the interface system, the coupled radiated noise from each port to port shield is individually controlled.

  • Publication number: 20060181459
    Abstract: An apparatus/system for use in coupling power from a power supply to a device over a network transmission medium is provided. The coupling apparatus/system generally includes one or more common mode chokes that feature a first winding and a second winding, the first winding being electrically connected between the first terminal of the power supply and the first electrical conductor of the network transmission medium, and the second winding being coupled between the first terminal of the power supply and the first electrical conductor of the network transmission medium. The common mode choke generally includes at least one core for coupling the first and second windings of the one or more common mode chokes. An RJ45 to 110 IDC modular connector may be connected to a printed circuit board used to transfer high speed signals for telecommunication interface media connections. The printed circuit board is configured to help reduce near-end crosstalk (NEXT) without compromising impedance.

  • Publication number: 20050118881
    Abstract: The present disclosure is related to a modular plug housing insert device that makes electrical contact to a telecommunication plug to complete an interface media connection. The positional relationship of the conductors in the modular plug housing insert device are arranged to form a capacitance, such that the Near-end Crosstalk (NEXT) and Far End Crosstalk (FEXT) are reduced without compromising impedance.

  • Patent number: 5414393
    Abstract: A connector for communications systems has four input terminals and four output terminals, each arranged in an ordered array. A circuit electrically couples each input terminal to the respective output terminal and cancels crosstalk induced across the adjacent connector terminals. The circuit includes four conductive paths between the respective pairs of terminals. Each conductive path includes a plurality of conductive strips arranged in a zig-zag pattern with alternating strips mounted on opposite sides of the substrate and connected end-to-end by conductive devices passing through the substrate. The first and third paths are in relatively close proximity with conductive strips of the first path crossing conductive strips of the third path on opposite sides of the substrate to simulate a twisted wiring pair.
