Patent number: 6087584Abstract: An electrical connector assembly simply, and securely, grounds a shielding layer of a telephone cable to a conductive, grounded electrical box housing a protector module. During assembly, an insulation layer is removed from an end of the telephone cable to expose a portion of the shielding layer. The exposed portion of the shielding layer is folded back onto an adjacent, remaining portion of the insulation layer. A first sleeve is inserted into the end of the telephone cable and resides beneath a portion of the shielding layer. A second sleeve, formed of an electrically conductive material, is physically and electrically attached to the electrical box. The end of the telephone cable, having the first sleeve inserted therein, is inserted into the second sleeve.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 1998Date of Patent: July 11, 2000Assignee: Lucent Technologies Inc.Inventor: Bassel Hage Daoud

Patent number: 6074251Abstract: A shielded patch panel including a shield coupler that electrically connects a shield layer from an incoming cable to the shielded housing of a modular outlet. The shield layer of a shielded incoming cable is connected to the shield coupler through a spade that facilitates installation of the incoming cable. The shield coupler includes a plurality of arms that electrically connect the shield layer of the incoming cable to a shielded housing of the modular outlet. The shield coupler enhances the transfer impedance of the screened patch panels and results in compliance with the transfer impedance requirements.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 1998Date of Patent: June 13, 2000Assignee: The Siemon CompanyInventors: Jeffrey Edgerly, John A.

Patent number: 6019615Abstract: A shielded cable (1) includes a conductor (2), an inner insulating sheath (3) covering the conductor (2), a braid (4) provided around the inner insulating sheath (3), and an outer insulating sheath (5) covering the braid (4). An end portion of the outer insulating sheath (5) and an exposed portion of the braid (4), disposed adjacent to the end portion of the outer insulating sheath (5), are covered with an annular shield stopper (11) in such a manner that the shield stopper extends over the outer insulating sheath and the braid. An annular pressing portion (19) of a shield terminal (12) is inserted between the braid (4) and the inner insulating sheath (3). The shield stopper (11) is pressed, thereby simultaneously forming a first pressed portion (28) and a second pressed portion (29) at the shield stopper, the first pressed portion being pressed into the outer insulating sheath (5) while the second pressed portion is pressed into the braid (4).Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 1998Date of Patent: February 1, 2000Assignee: Yazaki CorporationInventor: Satoki Masuda

Patent number: 5975924Abstract: An electrical connector assembly simply, and securely, grounds a shielding layer of a telephone cable to a conductive, grounded chassis of a protector module. The connector assembly includes an electrically conductive sleeve, which is inserted into an end of the telephone cable. The conductive sleeve engages the shielding layer within the telephone cable. A threaded stud is integrally formed on the conductive sleeve and extends outwardly. A conductive bracket is mounted on the grounded chassis, and has a through hole for receiving the threaded stud. The threaded stud is secured, by a nut, to the conductive bracket, thereby grounding the shielding layer of the telephone cable to the grounded chassis. By the arrangement, the telephone cable's shielding layer is grounded, the telephone cable is firmly coupled to the protector module, and strain relief is provided in the coupling.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 1998Date of Patent: November 2, 1999Assignee: Lucent Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Bassel Hage Daoud

Patent number: 5967855Abstract: A connection structure for a shield electric cable and a method of processing a shield electric cable are intended for a shield electric cable having a cable core, an insulating inner jacket covering the cable core, a braided wire formed around the insulating inner jacket, and an insulating outer jacket formed around the braided wire so as to cover the cable core, the insulating inner jacket, and the braided wire. The connection structure includes an exposed portion of the braided wire obtained by partially exposing the braided wire and a shield terminal connected to the exposed portion. The shield electric cable and the shield terminal are connected to each other with a shield terminal joint portion formed between the shield terminal and the exposed portion by use of resistance welding. The method of processing a shield electric cable includes a step of bringing the shield terminal into contact with the exposed portion so as to resistance-weld the shield terminal to the exposed portion.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 1998Date of Patent: October 19, 1999Assignee: Yazaki CorporationInventors: Nobuyuki Asakura, Yasumichi Kuwayama, Tetsuro Ide
