US Classification:

439271, 439676, 439344

Abstract:

A telecommunications connector is provided including a plug assembly having a plug housing, a first mating means, and a first seal member, the plug housing including a plug retaining means for receiving and selectively retaining a plug having a cable attached thereto, and the plug housing further including a latch defeat. The telecommunications connector also includes a jack assembly having a jack housing, a second mating means, and a second seal member wherein the jack housing includes a jack retaining means for receiving and selectively retaining a jack. The first mating means and the second mating means are engageable such that, when engaged, the jack receives the plug, the first sealing member forms a first seal between the plug assembly and the jack assembly, and the second seal forms a second seal between the jack assembly and a connector housing.

US Classification:

439271, 439676, 439344

Abstract:

A telecommunications connector including seal members for preventing contaminants from entering the plug and/or jack when mated. The mated combination of the plug and jack assemblies creates a telecommunication connector that seals and isolates the contact interface of a modular plug and a jack from contaminants such as water, dust, and other non-desirable elements and/or substances.

US Classification:

385/120000, 385/115000, 385/137000

Abstract:

An optical fiber array in accordance with the principles of the present invention includes a faceplate having a plurality of precisely positioned holes extending from front to back surfaces completely through the faceplate. Each hole has an optical fiber inserted therethrough and each fiber includes core, cladding, and coating layers. An end-portion of each of the fibers is stripped of the coating layer, exposing the fibers' cladding layer. The minimum inside diameter of each faceplate hole is greater than the greatest outside diameter of the fibers' cladding layer, permitting each fiber cladding layer to be inserted completely through any of the holes. Optical fibers are inserted into one (rear) faceplate surface and through the holes with a sufficient segment of the stripped fiber end-portion extending beyond the opposite (front) faceplate surface to ensure that, when processing is complete, a complete cross-section of the core layer is exposed at the front face of the faceplate. Once inserted, the fibers are secured in position and the portion of fiber extending beyond the faceplate fronts surface is removed, leaving the fiber endfaces substantially coplanar with the front surface of the faceplate.

Abstract:

A fiber optic illumination device for handheld remote controls is presented. In accordance with the present invention, the device of the present invention takes advantage of technology readily available and uses it to provide illumination to remote control keypads. The device of the present invention uses fiber optics and bright Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) for illumination of handheld remote control keypads. Handheld remote controls are often used to control televisions, stereos, and other electronics found in most homes. The device of the present invention includes a housing assembly to locate and enclose a switch, a conductive spring wire, () 3 volt lithium coin cell batteries, an LED, an optical medium, a guide, and an elastic band. The combination of which allows for a compact device to provide illumination of handheld remote control keypads.

International Classification:

F16L 322

US Classification:

248 681

Abstract:

A telecommunications rack cable support bracket is provided which comprises a pair of parallel support members and a plurality of cross members extending therebetween. The arrangement of the support members and the cross members defines two openings through which cable may be routed. Each support member includes tabs for securely positioning the telecommunications rack cable support bracket onto a telecommunications rack by interfacing with the horizontal Z-brackets of the telecommunications rack, thus eliminating the need for the use of special mechanical fasteners. Each cross member includes a pair of downwardly extending tabs which serve to locate the telecommunications rack cable support bracket between two U-shaped brackets of the telecommunications rack. These tabs also provide stress concentration relief for cable bundles routed from U-channels across the telecommunications rack cable support bracket. Cable bundles are securely routed across the telecommunications rack cable support bracket by use of cable bundle management devices which are detachably received in openings in each cross member.

Abstract:

A consolidation point enclosure employing a two piece design in which a cover subassembly is removably mounted to a mounting plate. The cover subassembly includes notches that allow cable to enter the consolidation point enclosure. When the cover subassembly is removed, cables can be routed to the consolidation point enclosure without pulling the cables through restrictive openings. The cover subassembly is then mounted to the mounting plate with the notches straddling the cables. The invention also includes a patch panel mounting assembly that is hingedly mounted to the mounting plate. A pair of spring loaded pins secure the patch panel mounting assembly in an open position which facilitates access to the devices mounted in the patch panel mounting assembly. In alternative embodiments, the mounting plate includes additional support plates for mounting 110 type or 66 type cabling products.
