Patent number: 11866207Abstract: A flush mount table-top assembly designed to mount an automatic cable tie tool to a work surface. The flush mount assembly includes an overlay plate, a tool cage, and a paddle assembly. The tool cage holds the automatic cable tie tool. The tool cage is suspended from the overlap plate by an integrated insert plate to enable the top of the automatic cable tie tool to protrude above the work surface. The paddle assembly is rotatably mounted to the insert plate. The paddle assembly activates the automatic cable tie tool. When not in use, the flush mount assembly can be configured to restore work surfaces lost due to fixture implementation.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2020Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignee: Panduit Corp.Inventors: Kirill Psarev, Thuc K. Vu, Scott M. Lesniak, Alfred Pierce

Patent number: 9287635Abstract: A network cable jack includes a printed circuit board (PCB) for balancing both inductive and capacitive coupling. Using a PCB allows compact trace paths to be formed without significantly increasing manufacturing costs. By including on each trace path two distinct inductance zones separated by a neutral zone, significant gains in degrees of freedom are achieved for designing PCB trace patterns in which a pair of inductive coupling zones jointly offset the inductive coupling caused by a specification plug and the jack contacts, both in magnitude and phase angle. Further, using distinct inductance zones offers more freedom regarding the placement of capacitive plates for use in capacitance balancing as well as the placement of terminals and insulation displacement contacts. Although the magnitude of a capacitive coupling is determined by the length of the capacitor plates parallel to current carrying traces, the approach allows capacitive and inductive coupling to be balanced independently.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2015Date of Patent: March 15, 2016Assignee: Panduit Corp.Inventors: Jack E.
