US Patent:

7909656, Mar 22, 2011

Filed:

Oct 26, 2009

Appl. No.:

12/605986

Inventors:

Jason Erickson - Mill Creek WA, US
Jeffrey Alan Poulsen - Edmonds WA, US

Assignee:

Leviton Manufacturing Co., Inc. - Melville NY

International Classification:

H01R 24/00

US Classification:

439676

Abstract:

A plug including first, second, third, and fourth pairs of contacts connected to first, second, third, and fourth wire pairs, respectively. The first pair of contacts is positioned between first and second contacts of the third pair of contacts, the second pair of contacts is positioned alongside the first contact, and the fourth pair of contacts is positioned alongside the second contact. A first and second capacitive coupling member each including a sleeve and contact member are spaced from the plug contacts. The second wire pair extends through the sleeve of the first coupling member and the contact member of the first coupling member is electrically connected to the wire connected to the second contact. The fourth wire pair extends through the sleeve of the second coupling member and the contact member of the first coupling member is electrically connected to the wire connected to the first contact.

Adam Bily - Bothell WA, US

Assignee:

Leviton Manufacturing Co., Inc. - Melville NY

International Classification:

H01R 13/66

US Classification:

43962022, 439676

Abstract:

A spring assembly for a communications jack including a plurality of jack contacts each electrically connectable to a corresponding plug contact of a communications plug. First and second jack contacts carry a first differential signal. Fifth and sixth jack contacts carry a second differential signal. The jack contacts carrying the first differential signal are adjacent a third jack contract and the jack contacts carrying the second differential signal are adjacent a fourth jack contract. For each jack contact, the assembly has a conductive spring member electrically connected to the jack contact that biases the jack contact against a corresponding plug contact. To reduce crosstalk, the spring members connected to the first and second jack contacts are each capacitively coupled to the fourth jack contact, and the spring members connected to the fifth and sixth jack contacts are each capacitively coupled to the third jack contact.

International Classification:

G06F 11/30
G06F 11/32

Abstract:

A device topology definition system works in conjunction with a location indicia detector, such as a topology key or detector, to simplify entry of device location information in a device monitoring system. To mitigate the tedium of entering location information for each device being monitored, the topology key or detector can be inserted into a data port or aperture of a device, or otherwise detect location indicia located on or proximate to a device, and a topology definition system of the device monitoring application will read topology information from the key or detector and logically associate the topology information with the device's identifier. This association is recorded as part of a global topology data set for the monitored devices maintained by the device monitoring application. In the case of a topology key, the topology information stored on the key can be modified prior to inserting the key into another device, allowing device location information to be quickly entered into the device monitoring application without requiring a user to enter the location information manually at the monitoring application's user interface.

US Classification:

710 18

Abstract:

A universal serial bus (USB) sensor bar and a device manager are configured to intelligently monitor one or more patch panels. The USB sensor bar comprises an array of sensors configured to read identification data from memory devices affixed to respective cables plugged into ports of a patch panel. The USB sensor bar converts the identification data to a USB protocol and sends the data to a device manager over a USB bus. The device manager uses the received information to document a network architecture, generate web-based interfaces that render configuration and status information for the network, and generate alarms or notifications in response to detection of defined network conditions.
