Patent number: 8167662Abstract: There is disclosed a connector and method for terminating a cable comprised twisted pairs of conductors. In one aspect of the invention the connector comprises a wire lead guide for arranging the twisted pairs of conductors and a plurality of piercing contacts which interconnect with respective ones of the twisted pairs of conductors when the wire guide is secured to the module. In a further aspect of the invention the wire lead guide ensures that the spacing between the conductors of a particular twisted pair is maintained, thereby improving the performance of the subsequent assembly.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2011Date of Patent: May 1, 2012Assignee: Belden CDT (Canada) Inc.Inventors: Luc Milette, François Beauregard, Yannick Demers, Virak Siev, Patrick St-Louis

Patent number: 7811006Abstract: A connector for reversibly terminating a cable comprising a buffer cladding surrounding an optical fiber wherein an end portion of the cable is exposed to reveal the optical fiber. The connector comprises a clamping assembly comprising a splice anvil comprising a fiber clamping surface positioned facing a member surface and overlapping a stub splicing face and an optical fiber splicing face. The clamping assembly is adapted for opening by applying a tangential force to the splice anvil, illustratively through engaging an actuating boss with a tool inserted through the opening and applying a force to the actuating boss such that the clamping surface is moved away from the member surface against a spring.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2009Date of Patent: October 12, 2010Assignee: Belden CD (Canada) Inc.Inventors: Luc Milette, Moise Levy, Yannick Demers

Publication number: 20090179116Abstract: A side bracket mounted to a patch panel frame for supporting cables connected to the frame. The bracket is mounted to a side of the frame adjacent one of a pair of spaced vertical rails the frame is mounted between. The bracket comprises a first and a second bracket member detachably coupled to one another using a snap-fit mechanism and extends away from a rear surface of the frame along a plane substantially perpendicular to the plane spanned by the frame. Cables connected to the frame are then routed away from the rear surface towards the side bracket, thus freeing space at the rear of the patch panel.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 12, 2009Publication date: July 16, 2009Inventors: Patrick St-Louis, Yannick Demers

Publication number: 20090163043Abstract: A patch panel with angled connector modules for mounting to a telecommunications rack comprising a frame comprising a flat elongate frame member having an opening formed therein for mounting one of the connector module. The outer vertical surfaces of each connector module are outwardly angled relative to one another to form a generally V-shape when viewed from above. The modules are reversible and two modules can therefore be mounted to the frame member with a reversed left-to-right orientation. A pattern of modules can thus be created on a single frame as well as along the length of the rack by stacking a plurality of frames one on top of the other. In particular, two modules can be mounted such that their outer vertical surfaces are either substantially parallel or intersect at an angle.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2008Publication date: June 25, 2009Inventors: YANNICK DEMERS, LUC MILETTE
