Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a connector block for terminating a plurality of insulated conductors.
  • the present invention relates to a connector block having integral cable managers.
  • Electronic data cables are used to carry voice and data signals between transmitters and receivers.
  • Electronic data cables usually consist of a series of twisted pairs of insulating copper conductors held together in a common insulating jacket. Each twisted pair of conductors is used to carry a single information stream. The two conductors are twisted together at a certain bit rate, so that any external electromagnetic fields affect the two conductors substantially equally, so a twisted pair can reduce crosstalk (XT) caused by electromagnetic coupling from external sources.
  • XT crosstalk
  • adjacent twisted pairs are typically twisted at different rates of twist so that each pair is still exposed to alternate lengths of the two conductors of its adjacent pair.
  • a twisted pair wire would be at about the same distance from one of the wires of its adjacent twisted pair, whereby the first wire would constantly have the same electromagnetic coupling from a single wire of its neighbor along the length of the wire.
  • Using different drill rates in one cable reduces crosstalk between twisted pairs.
  • the insulation displacement contacts may be formed of a contact element that is forked so that two opposite contact portions are defined; which are separated by a slot into which an insulated conductor can be pressed so that edges of the contact portions engage and displace the insulation so that the contact portions resiliently engage and make electrical connection with the conductor.
  • a contact is for example in the U.S. Patents 4,452,502 and 4,405,187 described.
  • Two opposite contact portions of the insulation displacement contacts are disclosed in the slots. As such, an end portion of an insulated conductor may be electrically connected to an insulation displacement contact by pressing the end portion of the conductor into the slot.
  • Cable managers have heretofore been used to locate ends of the cables in fixed positions to be presented to corresponding groups of slots of the connector block.
  • the cable managers have heretofore been an additional piece of equipment that can be selectively coupled to the connector block to manage the ends of the data cables. Cable managers of this type can increase the cost of an electrical installation that has multiple Includes connector blocks. In addition, it is possible that their use in places where space is limited, is inappropriate.
  • Cable managers of the type described above may not necessarily hold the insulated conductors of an electronics data cable in substantially fixed positions relative to the corresponding side of a connector block.
  • the conductors may not necessarily lie flat against the body of the connector block and are, to some extent, free to move around. This can lead to difficulties when, for example, connector blocks are stacked on top of each other. With such an arrangement, the separation distance between conductors connected to the connector blocks may be reduced and electromagnetic radiation therebetween may cause alien crosstalk.
  • connection block according to claim 1 This object is achieved by a connection block according to claim 1.
