Patent number: 9991638Abstract: An RJ45 Communication jack has a housing with a top, bottom, front, and back. A foil is immediately adhered to and partially covers the housing. A top or bottom of the housing is covered by a first portion and a second portion of the foil wherein the first portion and the second portion are separated by a nonconductive gap. The gap extends from the front of the housing to the rear of the housing. With such foils placed on each one of a series of adjacent jack housing, common mode noise caused by capacitive coupling between adjacent ones of the foils is reduced.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2016Date of Patent: June 5, 2018Assignee: Panduit Corp.Inventors: Frank M. Straka, Ronald L. Tellas, Jason J. German, Vytas J. Vaitkus

Patent number: 9246274Abstract: The present invention generally relates to the field of network communications, and more specifically to networks for crosstalk reduction/compensation and communication connectors which employ such networks. In an embodiment, the present invention is an RJ45 jack with an orthogonal compensation network to meet CAT6A or higher performance standard. For the 3:6-4:5 wire-pair combination, the orthogonal compensation network begins in the jack nose (plug interface contact (PIC)) section, and utilizes a flexible printed circuit board in the nose section, split PIC contacts in the rear nose, and circuitry in the rigid printed circuit board to create the orthogonal compensation network.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2014Date of Patent: January 26, 2016Assignee: Panduit Corp.Inventors: Joshua A. Valenti, Moulik Shah, Ronald L. Tellas, Robert E. Fransen, Satish I. Patel, Tse-Yu Lin

Publication number: 20140154919Abstract: This application describes a jack for improving crosstalk attenuation. The jack has a housing, a foil at least partially surrounding the housing, a printed circuit board, and at least one pair of insulation displacement contacts and vias. Each pair of insulation contacts and vias are associated with a differential signal. A conductive trace stub is routed on the printed circuit board near the edge of the board proximate to the foil in order to at least partially balance the coupling from one of the insulation displacement contacts and vias of a pair to the foil with the other insulation displacement contact and via of the pair by electrically connecting the trace stub to the via that is further from the foil.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 17, 2014Publication date: June 5, 2014Applicant: Panduit Corp.Inventors: Frank M.

Patent number: 8632362Abstract: This application describes a jack for improving crosstalk attenuation. The jack has a housing, a foil at least partially surrounding the housing, wherein the foil is made up of a first section separated and conductively isolated from a second section by a gap or made up of a first metalized section separated and conductively isolated from a second metalized section by a non-metalized section whereby common mode noise caused by the capacitive coupling between foils of a series of adjacent jacks is reduced.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2012Date of Patent: January 21, 2014Assignee: Panduit Corp.Inventors: Frank M.

Patent number: 8303348Abstract: A communication jack has a housing with a face having a plug receiving aperture. A plurality of conductive path pairs extends from corresponding plug interface contacts located at the plug receiving aperture to corresponding output terminals. A first circuit board is connected to the plug interface contacts and a second circuit board is connected to the plug interface contacts and the output terminals. The first circuit board has a first single stage of crosstalk compensation with opposite polarity of the crosstalk of a plug for a first combination of the conductive path pairs. The second circuit board includes a second single stage of opposite polarity crosstalk compensation for some of the conductive path pairs not compensated on the first circuit board. The stages cancel substantially all of the crosstalk caused by the plug, for the signal operating frequencies, for corresponding combinations of the conductive path pairs.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2012Date of Patent: November 6, 2012Assignee: Panduit Corp.Inventors: Frank M. Straka, Ronald L. Tellas

Patent number: 8298002Abstract: A pair manager for use in securing a twin-axial cable to a printed circuit board is described. The pair manager comprises a generally block-shaped portion containing a pair of channels. The channels extend from the front face to the rear face of the block-shaped portion. An integral flange and a pair of integral fingers extend perpendicularly from the front face of the block-shaped portion. The flange extends generally from the center of the front face and the fingers extend from opposite edges of the front face. The fingers and flange function as a partial shield cavity around each pair of conductors. This design helps to maintain better impedance matching when connecting twin-axial cables to a printed circuit board.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2012Date of Patent: October 30, 2012Assignee: Panduit Corp.Inventors: Satish I. Patel, Surendra Chitti Babu, Mysore Purushotham Divakar, Paul B. DuCharme, Masud Bolouri-Saransar, Paul W. Wachtel, David E. Urbasic, Nicholas G. Martino, Ronald L. Tellas
