Definitions

  • the invention relates to connectors for high-speed networks for voice and data transmission (CDDI connector) according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Connectors for high speed networks are well known.
  • the so-called CDDI connectors (Cooper Distributed Data Interface) and FDDI connectors (Fiber Distributed Data Interface) are used for transmission paths with 100 Mbit / s in data networks.
  • CDDI connectors Chiper Distributed Data Interface
  • FDDI connectors Fiber Distributed Data Interface
  • From DE-A-3925122 a connector for multi-core round cable is known, which has groove-shaped chambers for receiving the round cable. In these chambers connection elements are arranged, to which the ends of the cable wires are connected.
  • a disadvantage of this connector is that the connector must be equipped with receiving chambers in which connection elements must be inserted. Due to the arrangement of the contacts to each other, the connector is unsuitable for transmissions in the frequency range from 20 to 140 MHz.
  • the known connectors in KRONE LINK with LSA PROFILE ", Planning Information, Edition 06.92) have an essentially rectangular housing.
  • the 8 contacts for example, are arranged in pairs and are relatively large Contact areas run parallel to each other. There is a plastic core between the contact surfaces of each contact pair. This arrangement of contact surfaces results in a capacitor effect which negatively influences important electrical parameters of the connector, such as crosstalk attenuation and crosstalk attenuation. Due to the necessary disconnection of the feed cable due to the structural conditions and thus by the interruption of the optimized cable structure, further electrical parameters, such as, for example, the wave resistance and the reflection attenuation, are negatively influenced.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of developing a CDDI connector of the generic type, the electrical characteristics of which are improved and which ensures that the requirements for high-speed network components are met.
  • the contacts are arranged on an inner and a middle circle.
  • the circular cross-sectional design of the CDDI connector corresponds better to the structure of the cable structure of the supply cable than the previously known rectangular shape.
  • the circular contact arrangement ensures maximum distances between the individual wires.
  • connection axis between the incoming wire and the plug contact is 180 °, so that electrical joints are reduced.
  • the values for the wave resistance and the reflection loss are improved. This effect is increased if the same cross-sections are used for the incoming wire and the plug contact.
  • Due to the circular design of the connector a tubular structure of the shield is possible.
  • the closed, homogeneous shielding that can be achieved is expressed in an improved transfer impedance. With the known connectors, only an inhomogeneous, open structure of the shield could be achieved.
  • the CDDI connector is easy and inexpensive to manufacture due to its simple structural design.
  • FIG. 1 shows a schematic representation of the top view of a CDDI connector 1 with a housing 9, a middle contact circuit 2 with four contacts 13, an inner contact circuit 3 with four contacts 13 and with a shield 4 as an outer circle.
  • a shield 4 as an outer circle.
  • the assignment of a socket 7 and a plug 8 of the CDDI connector 1 is shown schematically in a side view.
  • the supplied cable 5 is inserted into the housing 9 of the socket 7 and brought up to the connector 1.
  • the cable wires 6 of the cable 5 are connected to the contacts 13 (not shown). In the same way, the cable 5 and the cable cores 6 are introduced and contacted on the side of the plug 8.
  • the connector 1 allows the connection of the wires 6 on two levels. With this arrangement, the respective cable structure is largely retained.
  • the connection axis between the incoming wire and the plug contact is 180 °, so that electrical joints are reduced.
  • the circular design of the connector 1 ensures a tubular structure of the shield. This results in a closed, homogeneous umbrella structure, which is particularly evident in one expresses improved transfer impedance (Fig. 1,2).
  • the shield 11 of the socket housing 7 and the shield 12 of the connector housing 8 are connected to the respective shield of the cable 5.
  • the tube shield 4 of the connector 1 can, similarly to dipole sockets, be constructed from two half-shells.
  • the CDDI connector 1 can be used as a single cable connector in junction boxes for communication outlets, in patch fields in communication distributors, for computers, telephones and the like in connection with the insulation displacement technology LSA PLUS (quick connection technology).
