Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for connecting data network cabling.
  • Local area networks also called local area networks (LAN) - serve e.g. for connecting personal computers of an office, a building or even a larger company site with several buildings.
  • the computers are networked by cabling, which the computers directly - i.e. without an intermediate telephone network or the like - connect.
  • cabling should not only be used for example in a wall Cabling are understood, but also the outgoing lines to the connected devices.
  • fiber optic cables, coaxial cables, twisted pair lines and similar cabling are used to connect data networks (especially computer networks). If another type of data protocol is to be transmitted via data network cabling, for example video signals, ISDN protocols and the like, problems can arise because these systems may use different wire pairs of a cable system for data transmission.
  • a typical problem of this kind is the different wiring of - for example two or four-pair - cabling when changing from one data service to another. If, for example, cabling that was previously used for Ethernet is to be used for ISDN in the future, a different wire assignment must be taken into account.
  • Another problem is the different connection of devices that are operated as receivers or transmitters to the corresponding cabling.
  • connection between two cabling is realized by means of different "patch cables" on patch panels of network distribution cabinets, which is confusing and impractical.
  • handicrafts are often required to create the necessary connections between the different cable pairs as required.
  • the wires of a cabling are often individually inserted into the individual wire sockets of a transition plug during a transition to another cabling, which is particularly time-consuming and can easily lead to faulty connections.
  • the invention aims to simplify the connection of data network cabling.
  • the invention achieves this aim by the subject matter of claim 1.
  • the device according to the invention for connecting data network cabling then has an adapter for assigning at least one first cabling to at least one further cabling, the cabling each containing at least two wire pairs and the assignment of the wire pairs between first and further cabling is done using the adapter.
  • the invention replaces the patch cable connections required by the prior art - to be created by hand - by an uncomplicated, prefabricated connection device which realizes the assignment of the input and output wires of an intersection of the network cabling via a corresponding, prefabricated assignment device (adapter).
  • the connecting device is particularly preferably designed such that it receives a first, fixed wiring and a further, flexible wiring (claim 2).
  • This variant enables in particular a simple connection between plastered cabling (fixed cabling) and loose cabling (flexible cabling).
  • the cabling is used in particular to operate the following networks: 10 BT (Ethernet), TR (Token Ring), TPDDI (Twisted Pair Distribute Interface), ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network), analog telephone and ATM (asynchronous transfer Fashion) (claim 3).
  • the adapter may need to be replaced. Therefore, in a further preferred embodiment of the invention, the adapter is detachable and exchangeable - in particular pluggable - in order to achieve different wire pair assignments, in particular by means of different adapters (claim 4).
  • the adapter preferably has connection means - in particular pins - and the device has corresponding means - in particular a base - for receiving these connection means (claim 5). This makes replacing the adapter particularly easy.
  • the adapter particularly preferably has hard wiring (claim 6). This provides a particularly simple way of circumventing the cabling problem described above, because the prefabricated hard wiring takes over the connection between the cabling, which is otherwise cumbersome to produce.
  • the device has a plug at least on the input or output side and a socket on the output or input side (claim 7).
  • connections on the input and output sides are preferably designed as RJ-45 connections and / or terminal connections (claim 8). This variant allows easy installation of the device.
  • the device is preferably designed as a junction box (claim 10). This variant is particularly suitable for the fixed installation of the device on or in a wall. Furthermore, a further preferred embodiment of the device is designed as a connector or socket (claim 11). This design is particularly suitable for flexible, location-independent installation of the device.
  • the device provides several adapters for assigning several cabling (claim 12). In this way, multiple assignments of cabling can be accomplished in one device, so that a particularly space-saving variant of the device results.
  • a patch panel field serves e.g. the connection of end devices (computers etc.) to a cabling system of a building comprising several cabling systems. Different adapters can be used to easily create connections to end devices of all types with different connections.
  • 1 shows a basic circuit diagram of a first exemplary embodiment of a device 1 according to the invention for connecting data network cabling, which has an adapter 2 for assigning a first cabling a to two further cabling b, c.
  • the first wiring a is designed in four pairs and has a socket 3 for connecting a mating connector of an eight-wire data transmission cable (neither of which is shown).
  • the socket 3 is connected via eight individual wires a 'to eight connections (x1-x8) of the adapter 2 designed as hard wiring.
  • the adapter 2 internally realizes a connection to eight further connections (y1 to y8).
  • the inputs of the adapter are assigned different outputs.
  • connections x1 and x2 are to be assigned to the connections y5 and y6.
  • a prefabricated adapter 2 with corresponding internal wiring must be available for each connection permutation. The user only has to select the desired adapter 2 and insert it into the connecting device 1.
  • connection side in the device 1 shown in FIG. 1 there is a choice between connecting an eight-wire (four-pair) data cable (to connector 4) or a four-wire (two-pair) data cable (to connector 5).
  • an eight-wire system can also be connected to a four-wire system.
  • a single connecting device can thus be used to connect these two common systems.
  • FIG. 2a shows a schematic side view of a connecting device 1 according to the invention which, in terms of its connection geometry, is similar to an RJ-45 plug.
  • the connecting device 1 On the output side, the connecting device 1 has the socket 3 'designed as an RJ-45 socket.
  • An RJ-45 connector 4 'and a cutting / clamping connection 5' are provided on the input side as connection options.
  • the adapter 1 is shielded all around by a metal housing 6.
  • a bottom section 8 of the adapter 1 is provided with a latching lug 9 for insertion into a patch panel field (see FIG. 4) (snap-in technique).
  • FIG. 2b shows a view from above of the exemplary embodiment from FIG. 2a (without housing 6).
  • the base 7 is used to insert an adapter 2, for example in the form of hard wiring, which is cast in a housing (see also FIG. 3b, reference number 2).
  • FIG. 2c illustrates, in addition to FIG. 2b, as a view from below, connecting conductor tracks 10 between the base 6 and the connections of the connecting device 1.
  • 3a shows a perspective view of a connecting device in the manner of a connecting socket 1 '.
  • 3b shows an image of the connecting device rotated by 180 ° 3a - but with the shield removed (metal housing 6).
  • Various connections between the inputs and outputs of the adapter can be implemented using prefabricated - easily exchangeable - adapters 2, for example in the form of hardwiring in the housing.
  • the exchange is particularly simple when using an adapter 2 with pins 19 for insertion into the base 7.
  • the clamping technology connection 5 ' is provided with four individual terminals 11 for connecting a data transmission cable (not shown).
  • FIG. 4 shows an illustration of a 19-inch patch panel field 12 for receiving twelve connecting devices 1, which are also designed on the input side as RJ-45 sockets.
  • connection devices can be installed with a single screen or with a shielding of all sockets surrounding several or all connection devices of a patch panel field.
  • the panel field 12 shown in FIG. 4 is suitable for installation in wall cupboards, 19 ′′ frames or table housings. All standard cables can be easily connected, as a clamping technology connection is available.
  • the application or connection is carried out using a commercially available application tool.
  • the cutting / clamping technology guarantees corrosion-free, low-resistance transitions that are largely transparent for data transmission.
  • the marshalling panels are suitable for data transfer speeds of up to 1 Gbit / sec and are part of the structured cabling system.
  • Fig. 5 shows a further embodiment of the connecting device according to the invention in the manner of a shielded junction box 1 ''. It is particularly suitable for connecting fixed cabling, for example is installed in a wall with flexible cabling. Furthermore, the variant shown here is particularly space-saving, since all essential elements are duplicated, so that two cabling connections can be created with one device. In particular, two RJ-45 sockets 3 'can be seen in FIG.
  • FIG. 6 shows an exploded view belonging to FIG. 5. Due to the construction, a quick but technically perfect assembly is made possible. All parts are put together by simply plugging them together. Only a single screw 13 secures the parts together with the can lid 14. The electrical connection of the cabling takes place via easily accessible cutting / clamping connections 15.
  • the inside of the device is shielded by a shielding hood 16 which is placed on the metal housing 17. Furthermore, metal wedges 18 serve to further shield the openings 19 for the entry and exit of the cabling and at the same time as a safe strain relief.
  • the adapters 2 there are two sockets 7 for two plug-in adapters 2.
  • the adapters 2 have pins 19 which are received by the sockets 7.
  • the base 7 are each connected to an RJ-45 socket 3 '.
