Abstract: A communication connector capable of sustaining Category 6 performance when subjected to physical stress in an operating environment. The connector includes a connector housing, and a wire board with contact wires extending over a top surface of the board to establish points of electrical contact with terminals of a mating connector when the latter is inserted in the connector housing. A terminal housing is fixed on the top surface of the wire board, for supporting a number of connector terminals which are mounted on the board. The terminal housing and the connector housing are constructed and arranged to engage one another when the wire board is inserted with its contact wires in the connector housing, so that displacement of the points of contact between the contact wires and the terminals of the mating connector, is restrained during use of the communication connector.

Abstract: A preferred embodiment of the storage assembly includes a spool incorporating a first end, a second end, and a curved outer surface, with the outer surface being adapted for winding optical fibers thereon. A mounting arm extends from the spool, with an adapter engaging the distal end of the mounting arm. Preferably, the adapter has a receptacle formed therethrough, with the receptacle being adapted to receive and mount an optical fiber coupler therein. The assembly is configured to mount to a faceplate.
