Description

MODULAR OUTPUT WITH REDUCED INTERFERENCE DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to connectors more particularly, the present invention relates to a connector assembly for use primarily with telecommunication devices and the like. The communication system or the efficiency of the network depends directly on the integrity of the connector scheme used. Such connector schemes include, for example, standard interfaces for outgoing computer / user access access), transmission means (cable oi-i? - > ^? And main), and administration / distribution points (transverse connection and facilities) of repair), regardless of the type or capabilities of the transmission media used for an installation, the integrity of the cabling infrastructure is only as good as the operation of the individual components that join it together. By way of example, a non-standard connector may require that the outputs of the work area be re-wired to accommodate a group movement, system change, or an installation with connecting hardware, whose installed transmission characteristics are compatible with an existing application, but that later they were found to have an inadequate functioning, when the system expanded or improved at higher transmission rates. Therefore, by connecting material without a properly qualified design and transmission capabilities, user productivity can be impaired, system performance compromised and an important barrier placed on new and emergency applications. The safety, integrity of connection and durability are also important considerations, since the wiring relationship cycles, typically cover periods of 10 to 20 years, in order to meet the specifications for, and the operation of the connecting material in telecommunications, It is preferable to establish an important and accessible point of reference. The first references considered by many as the international base brands for telecommunications commercially based on their components and facilities are the ANSI / EIA-568-A (/ 568) Commercial Building Telecommunications Standards Standard and 150 / IEC 11801 (/ 11801) standards ( Wiring regulations in commercial telecommunications training), which is a generic wiring for the client's premises. Among the many aspects of telecommunications cabling covered by these standards are the connection design of the material (hardware), safety and transmission operation. Therefore, the industry has established a common set of test methods and approval or failure criteria on which the performance claims and comparative data can be based. To determine the functioning of the connecting material in a certain environment, it is preferred to establish test methods and approval or failure criteria that are relevant in a wide range of applications and connector types. Since the ratio between megabits and megahertz depends on the coding scheme used, the performance claims for wiring components that specify bit rates without providing reference to an industrial standard or coding scheme have little value. Therefore, it is the interest, from both manufacturers and end users, to standardize operating information across a wide range of applications. For this reason, independent application standards, such as / 568 and / 11801, specify performance criteria in terms of hertz rather than bits. This information can be applied to determine if the requirements for specific applications are met. For example, much of the performance requirements in the IEEE 802.3i (10BASE-T) are specified in megahertz, and although the data is transmitted as 10 Mbps, for this application, the "frequencies", test are specified in the standard (as high as 15 MHz). The transmission parameters defined in / 568 and / 11801, for twisted pair connectors include attenuation, near-end interference (NEXT), and return loss. The net effect of these parameters on the operation of the channel, can be expressed in the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), to connect the material or hardware, the parameter that has been found to have the greatest impact on SNR, is end interference . Several industrial standards that specify multiple levels of execution of twisted pair cable components, have been established, for example, categories 3, 4 and 5, cable and connecting material are specified in / 568, as in / 11801, ahuse as in other national and regional specifications. In these specifications, the transmission requirements for the category 3 components are specified up to 16 MHz. The transmission requirements for the category 4 components are specified up to 20 MHz. The transmission requirements for the components of the category 5, specified up to 100 MHz, the classification of category 5, defines the most severe transmission requirements specified by national and international standards for twisted pair, unshielded and screen wiring.

In order for a twisted connector to qualify for a given operating category, it must meet all applicable transmission requirements regardless of the design and intended use. The challenge of meeting the transmission criteria is increased by the fact that the connecting categories are applied to the operation of the worst case. For example, a work area output that meets the requirements of category 5 NEXT, for all combinations of pairs except one, and that meets category 5, can only be classified as a category 3 connector, (assuming it meets all applicable requirements). It is recognized that there are numerous ways to achieve an electrical balance to connect material of the type presented in this invention. Several Category 5 output connectors are currently commercially available, this includes category 5 products, Systemax SCS from AT &T Network Systems, DVO Plus and BIX Plus from Northern Telecom and Category 5 ACO output from AMP. This list is only exemplary and does not pretend to be a complete list of products of category 5, commercially obtainable. Therefore, there is a continuing need for improved output connectors that meet or exceed the performance requirements of category 5, in order to meet the increasing bandwidth requirements of communication systems and networks. The Systemax SCS Category 5 AT &T output uses a cross-over guide concept that achieves a desired level of crosstalk operation, without the use of printed cards or other additional components (US Patent 5,186,647 to Denkman). This product uses a variation of the well-known guide frame output construction, which has been used for many years with numerous companies. Although this modality offers potential cost benefits by minimizing the number and types of components in the vp and complements it, it is limited in several important aspects. It should be appreciated that there are other balance compensation methods, such as parallel parallel tracks of circuit tracks, either in a side-by-side configuration of overlapping tracks placed on adjacent layers of a circuit, it is also possible to vary the thickness of the tracks with the object of reaching a degree of correction of inductive balance between the pairs. Another method is to place a piece of a flexible printed circuit (FPC) on top of a set of contacts. The selected contacts are electrically connected to portions of the flexible printed circuit. Some of these methods are presented in the US 5,299,956 to Brownell. However, another method to achieve balance between pairs, which does not employ or build guiding structure or printed circuit, is selectively twisted wire guide that leave the back of a conventional modular outlet. However, each of these methods has its own inherent limitations in terms of repetition, cost and operation, for example, the FPC, passive on the guide structure designs includes disadvantages such as resonant conversation. Where twisted wire guides are used, unconsciousness is problematic and the cost is high. An ITT Cannon modular outlet. having a reduced interference comprises a contact face having a contact carrier received therein, which supports a plurality of contacts. A hinge termination cover is attached to the box to terminate a plurality of wires at one end of the contacts. Using the pin / torque scheme T 568 A, defined in standard / 568, contact R4 comprises the insulating displacement terminal connected by a plate to a modular output terminal. The contact T4 comprises an insulating displacement terminal (IDC), connected by a guide to a modular output terminal. THE IT contact, comprises an insulating displacement terminal connected by a plate to a modular output terminal. The contact Rl comprises an insulating displacement terminal connected by a plate to a modular output terminal. The contact R3 comprises an insulating displacement terminal connected by a guide to a modular output terminal. The contact T3 comprises an insulating displacement terminal connected by a plate to the modular output termination, the contact R2, comprising an insulating displacement terminal connected by a first guide or conduit to a modular output terminal. A second guide of the contact R2 extends from one side of the first contact guide R2, and ends in a first plate of the contact P? A third contact guide R2, extends from the other side of the first guide "or contact conductor R2, and ends in a second plate of R2. The contact T2, comprises an insulating displacement terminal connected by a first guide of the T2 , to a modular output terminal A second guide of the contact T2 extends from one side of the first guide of the T2, and terminates in a first plate of the contact T2 A third guide of the contact T2 extends from the other side of the first guide of the T2, and ends in a second plate of the contact T2.The plate of the contact R4, is arranged on the second plate of the contact R2, and the Rl, is arranged on the first plate of the contact R2, with a leaf intermediate dielectric Therefore, the capacitive coupling is induced or added between the R2, and the contacts R4 and Rl In addition, the contact plate TI, is on the second plate of the T2, and the plate of the T3, on the first contact plate T2, with dielectric sheet inter Thus, the capacitive coupling is induced or added between the contact T2, and the contacts TI, T3. It is important to note that these plates are derived circuits connected to the signal carriers, so that electrical current does not pass through the plates to allow the signal to pass from the input to the output. Such passive capacitive signals suffer from the known problem of resonant interference, a phenomenon that is believed to result from signal reflection or lack of signal balance. In general, the modular outputs of the prior art also have the following limitations. Many outputs of the prior art have IDC terminals, in sequence and in accordance with the wiring scheme of T 568A, T 568 BD / 568. These IDC terminal sequences require that one of the twisted wire pairs be untwisted and separated, which has a disadvantageous effect on the interference function. The modular exits of the prior art, when installed in a panel can not be fitted side by side, in applications where high output density is required, arrays sacrifice efficiency per space.

Many outputs of the prior art are installable in suitable panel openings, which limits the adaptability of the outputs to various applications. The modular outlets of the prior art should be installed in a panel opening from the rear of the panel. In current installations most prefer to install a finished exit from the front of the panel. Many exits used a termination hood that requires extensive cable repair before it can be attached to the termination hood. In general, each twisted pair may be straightened, each wire must be straightened, aligned and accommodated before the wire can be installed on a termination hood. One disadvantage of the ITT output is that it requires four different box components. The living hinge design has the limitation of restricting the selection of material and compromising the mechanical integrity, known doors for the exit of the prior art, they are generally spring-loaded, with which they are not retained, in an open position, but only in a closed position. This disadvantage requires the user to use both hands when installing a plug, one to keep the door open and the other for the plug. The disadvantages discussed above and others of the prior art are overcome or alleviated by a modular output having reduced interference according to the present invention. The present invention allows the outputs to be fixed intimately side by side, achieving a high output density and an increase in space-efficiency. The present invention configures the contact so that the IDC terminals are arranged in sequence where none of the twisted wire pairs are separated. In addition, the outputs of the present, are installable in a panel opening industry standard IEC, 603-7, and are suitable for a wide range of applications! - O v * ?? It is important that the present invention is installable both in front and behind.In accordance with the present invention, the modular outlet comprises a connector housing that supports a plurality of contacts and a termination hood attached to the housing. the box for terminating a plurality of wires at one end of the contacts.The contacts are placed on a contact carrier which is received in the box.The connector box comprises a front panel having a standard modular outlet, with an opening like it is known, for example, the modular exit opening position 8, 6. The upper and lower side panels depend on or extend from the front panel A pair of cooperating stops depend on the upper panel and end with retaining edges to define a recess and receive an insert.

A recess or groove received by a panel is defined by an upward and an angled surface leading to an opening in the upper panel. A satisfactory panel depends on the back of the bottom and generally follows the contour of the bottom. Another panel receiving slot is defined at the front end of the elastic panel. The contact carrier comprises an L-shaped front portion, which receives a standard modular plug and has a plurality of slots for receiving the contacts. The grooves are defined in an arcuate recess at the fr-ontal end of the lower leg portion. The contact carrier is inserted into the cohector box. A termination block portion is rearwardly dependent on the lower end of the upper leg portion, the terminal block portion includes a plurality of slots in the lower portion thereof for receiving the contacts. Each of these slots communicates with an opening extending through the block portion where corresponding contacts pass. In one embodiment, the bearer also has a back extension. The extension has two windows to receive locking tabs on the termination hood. The extension has two protuberances to apply a degree of retention on two or more pairs of wire after it is attached to the termination hood. The extension has four other protuberances that provide support to minimize the movement of the wire termination point after engagement with the hood. Before the insertion of the contact carrier in the box, the contacts must be installed. Using the standard pin / pair scheme T568A, and in accordance with one embodiment of the invention, contact R2 comprises an insulating displacement connection connected by a guide to a pair of plates which are connected to the modular output connection. The contact R4 comprises a displacement connection connected by a guide to a plate connected in turn to the output connection. The contact T4 comprises a displacement and insulation connection connected by a guide to the modular output connection. The IT comprises an insulating displacement connection connected by guide to a plate, connected to the modular connection. The contact Rl, has a connection of the same type connected by a guide to a plate, and this to the modular output connection. The contact R3 has a connection of the same type connected by a guide to a modular output connection. The contact T3 has a connection of the same type connected by a guide to a plate and this to another modular output connection. The contact T2 comprises an insulating displacement connection connected by a guide to a pair of plates which are connected to the modular output connection.

It is important that one of the plates of the R2 is placed on the plate of the contact R4, and the other of its plates is arranged on the plate of the contact RI, with an intermediate dielectric sheet (for example Mylar or Kapton which are registered trademarks) . Therefore, the capacitive coupling is induced or added between the contacts R2, R4, and between the contacts R2, Rl. In addition, one of the contact plates T2 is below the TI plate, and the other plate of the T2 is below the contact plate T3 with a dielectric sheet (for example Mylar or intermediate Kapton). Therefore the capacitive coupling is induced or added between contacts T2, TI, and T2, T3. The contact plates are current carriers, more specifically, the current in these contacts, either from the insulating displacement connection to the modular output connection or vice versa, must pass through the plates that form the capacitive coupling. This method of achieving a controlled amount of capacitive coupling between selected contacts allows the modular to meet or exceed the requirements of category 5, and also avoid the problem of resonant interference resulting from signal reflection or lack of balance in the signal. In addition, while the modular output connections are connected in accordance with a standard configuration, the insulating displacement contacts are arranged in sequence, eliminating the separation of the torque upon completion. This method for achieving a controlled amount of capacitive coupling between the selected contacts is an important feature of the present invention, where a lack of reactive balance between the pairs is caused by some output wiring schemes and wire connectors, which it is now compensated by the plates and dielectric sheets, to allow the modular output of the invention to exceed the requirements of Xa category 5, as already described. The benefits of category 5 devices are well known and appreciated by the technician. The most important thing is the cost saving by using torque twisted wire without shielding where armored pairs or coaxial or fiber optic cable have been used, due to bandwidth limitations of twisted pair wiring without shielding. It is an important feature of the present invention that while the modular output connections are arranged in accordance with a standard configuration, ie T568A, the insulated displacement connections are configured to improve the termination of the wiring. More specifically, termination connections are sequential. In the wire pair of the standard scheme T568A, T2 and R2, they are separated, that is, they are not sequential, requiring therefore that at least this pair partially lose its twist and that a wire 1, of pair 2, of the pair of wires, wire creating with this an additional resonance between these pairs and impedance discontinuity of pair 2, in this termination. Maintaining the integrity of the twisted wire configuration is important in high bandwidth applications, for example, in category 5, or emerging ATM standards. In accordance with this objective the decontamination of the con? Ctorc;, ror > The configuration of the present invention helps to "limit this problem to eliminating the separation of the pair at the termination." The three-layer contact configuration taught by the invention not only maintains consistent coherence and polarity during wiring. and termination, but also provides a balance for the inductive and capacitive reaction to ensure that the coupled contact elements are integral to the paths of the signal current.They also provide parallel paths that allow the passing current to be proportional to the desired amount of current. coupling on an individual contact contact basis The termination hood, comprises a termination block portion, which has a row of wire retaining slots defined by a plurality of teeth. A T-shaped block depends on a front end of the termination block portion and a retainer block depending on an opposite rear end of the termination block portion. In another embodiment, two locking loops leave the termination hood to the contact carrier. Four elastic tabs captivate individual pairs in individual slots in the termination hood and allow the termination cable / hood sub-assembly to be easily handled before attaching the termination hood to the carrier. Prior art modular outlets that use termination hoods, they require a less efficient method to install cables on the termination hoods. In the cases of the prior art, the user had to untwist each of the pairs of wire in a wire, then had to straighten them and if necessary to thin them so that all the untwisted wires could be inserted simultaneously in the receiving holes of the hood of the wire. termination. This process consumes time, and is particularly inefficient, when a large number of modular outputs must be installed. The termination hood, in the present invention reduces the amount of cable preparation, the user simply separates the twisted pairs in a cable and inserts each twisted pair into a corresponding slot. Each twisted pair requires only a partial untwisting, so that the individual wires can be placed in the respective slots. Only after the wires are placed may the thinning be required. Once the wires have been inserted into the recesses of the termination hood and the cable is fixed, the wires are cut and terminated in insulating displacement connections. The wires are terminated by inserting the block into a channel of the contact carrier, aligning the contact termination hood and pushing down until the insulating displacement moves the insulation over the wires and makes electrical connection with the conductive wire (this is a mass termination). IDC is also preferable, varying the height to reduce the pressure required on the hood when opening the termination cases for a short period of time. The invention also includes a shield providing a single continuous path to connect the inputs to the output shield structures. This shielding is particularly suited to the second embodiment, however it can be adapted to the first. A door structure is also included that is elastic and gives a good seal against the modular opening.

The present invention comprises a retentionable exit door assembly in an open and a closed position. According to the present invention, the door comprises a pair of mounting arms having inwardly extending protrusions received in recesses to retain the door in the closed and open position. In one embodiment the connector box has a protrusion extending outwardly with each pair of notches to define the positions for retaining the protuberances of the door arms. In another embodiment, a door retainer is used which has two pairs of teeth with a pair of notches receiving the protuberances of the door arms to retain the door in a closed position and another pair of notches receiving the protuberances. to hold the door in the open position. In both modes, the door includes a channel for receiving an identification signal or icon. The discussed features and others, such as the advantages of the present invention, will be appreciated from the following detailed description with reference to the drawings.

Referring to FIG. 1, it is shown with the figure 200, a sub-assembly of a modular output having reduced interference according to the prior art. The sub-assembly 200, comprises a connector box 202, with a contact carrier 204, which supports a plurality of contact 206, a hinge termination cover 208, is attached to a box 202, to terminate a plurality of wires in a contact end 206. Contacts 206, comprise eight contacts 210, 212, 214, 216, 218, 220, 222 and 224. Contact 210, comprises a terminal 226, of insulating displacement connected by a plate 228, to a terminal of modular output 230, (this is pin 8, R4, according to T568A). The contact 212 comprises another displacement terminal 232, connected by a guide 234, to a modular terminal 236, (pin 7, T4, according to T5C8A). The contact 214 comprises an insulating displacement terminal 238, connected by a plate 240, to the output terminal 242, (pin 5, TI, according to T568A). The contact 216 comprises an insulating displacement terminal 244, connected by a plate 246, to a modular and output terminal 248, (pin 4, Rl, according to T568A). The contact 218 comprises a displacement terminal 250, connected by guide 252, to the output terminal 254, (pin 2, R3, according to T568A). The contact 220 comprises an insulating displacement terminal 256, connected by the plate 258, to a modular output termination 260, (pin 1, T3, according to T568A). The contact 222 comprises a displacement terminator 262, connected by the guide 264, to an output terminal 266, (pin 6, R2, according to T568A). A guide 268 extends from one side of the guide 264, and terminates in a plate 270. A guide 272, goes from the guide 264, from the other side and terminates in the plate 264, the contact 224, comprises a displacement terminal insulator 276, connected by a guide 278, to a modular output terminal 280, (pin 3, T2, in accordance with T568A). A guide 282 extends from one side of the guide 278 and terminates in a plate 264. A guide 286 extends from the other side of the guide 278 and terminates in a plate 288. The plate 228 of the contact 210 is arranged on plate 274, of contact 222, and plate 246, of contact 216, is on the nor side 70, the contact 222, with a dielectric sheet 287, intermediate (Mylar or Kapton, registered trademark). Therefore, the capacitive coupling is induced between the contact 222, (pin 6, R2, according to T568A), and the contacts 226, (pin 8, R4, according to T568A), and 216, (pin 4, Rl, according to T568A). In addition, contact plate 240, 214, is disposed on plate 288, contact 224, and plate 258, contact 220, is on plate 284, contact 224, dielectric sheet 287, arranged intermediate. Therefore, the capacitive coupling is induced between the contact 224, (pin 3, T2, according to T568A), and the contacts 214, (pin 5, TI, according to T568A), and 220, (pin 1, T3, according to T568A). It is important to note that these boards are branched circuits connected to signal carriers, so that the electrical current does not pass through the plates to allow the signal to pass from the input to the output. Such capacitive plates suffer from the problem of resonant interference, a phenomenon that is believed to result from signal reflection or lack of signal balance. This contact arrangement has the additional disadvantage of requiring that a pair of wires such as pair 2, of T568A, terminate in contact positions that are not adjacent and then the position of the tip and annular leads is not consistent for all The pairs. T, the modular output of the present invention, does not employ such passive plates, avoiding the problem of resonant interference. Referring to Figs. 2A-B, 3A-B, and 4A-B, a modular output with reduced interference is shown at 10.

The contact 112 ', comprises the terminal 158', connected by the guide 160 ', to the modular output 162', (pin 2, R3, according to T568A). The contact 114 ', comprises a terminal 164', of displacement of insulator connected by a guide 166 ', to a plate 168, connected to a modular output terminal 170', (pin 1, T3, according to T568A). The contact 116, comprises an insulating displacement terminal 172 ', connected by a guide 174', to the plates 176 ', and 178', connected to a modular output terminal 180 ', (this is pin 3, T2, in accordance with 568A). It is an important feature of the present invention that the contact plate 122 ', 102', is disposed on the plate 132 ', the contact 104', and the plate 124 ', of the contact 102', on the plate 154 ', of the contact 110 ', with an intermediate dielectric sheet for example of the Mylar or Kapton marks. In accordance with the above, the capacitive coupling is induced between the contact 102 ', (pin 6, R2, according to T568A), and the contact 104', (pin 8, R4, according to T568A), and between the contact 102 ', (pin 6"R2, according to T 68A)" and contact 110', (pin 4, Rl, according to T568A).

It is important 'to maintain the integrity of the twisted wire configuration, in high bandwidth applications, for example, category 5, or standard emerging ATM, in accordance with this objective, the untwisting of the conductors is minimized by helping the configuration of the present invention to limit the problem by eliminating the separation of the torque upon completion. Furthermore, in this preferred embodiment not only the corresponding pairs T-R are kept together, but the alternate sequence T-R, remains consistent in the four pairs at the input end. The input sequence is R3 T3 Rl TI R2 T2 R4 T4. This has the advantage that they are not adjacent to IT and T2, both wires are white and could lead to confusion during the installation if they were adjacent. This is beneficial for the industry. Referring to Figs. 11A-15B, another embodiment of the mechanical structure for supporting the electronic members of the modular receptacle 410 of the invention is shown. A connector box 412 is adapted to receive a contact carrier 418, which supports a plurality 414. A termination hood 416 is coupled to the carrier 418 to finish, protect and mechanically secure a plurality of wires to one end of the contacts 414. The sound box 412, comprises a front panel 420, which has a standard modular receptacle opening 422. A pair of side panels 424, 426, are rearwardly dependent on the panel 420, on each side thereof and are parallel to each other, each panel 424, 426, include the mounting holes 28, 30. An upper panel 432, extends rearwardly of the panel 20, joining the upper edges 424, and 426. The panel 432, includes the inclined members 434a, 424b, which the thickness of panel 432 increases, and terminates in a pair of cantilevers 436. Members 434 and cantilevers 436, in combination define a slot or notch 432, to receive slidable between an insert 43, (the inserts are illustrated in Figs. 8A-B, in conjunction with the description of a previous modality and are applicable here). The rear part of the recess 442 is another panel receiving recess 444 which is defined by the rear part of the end member 434b, the bevel 446, on the hood 416, which will be described later, and by removal of material from panels. sides 424, 426. Case 412, further includes a lower panel 452, which is disposed opposite panel 422, extends 420. Panel 452 is curved upward at a front end thereof to meet front panel 420. The elastic member 454, is downwardly dependent on the panel 452, and approximately follows the outline of 452, until it terminates in a panel receiving recess 456, at a front end where the slot is adapted to attach a wall panel, a plate or similar (see Fig. 9 for a representative plate). Depending upwards from a front edge of the member 454, there is the knot 455, for guiding the insertion of the door 870, (described below), also depending on or extending upwardly of the member 454, is the rib 453, which engages and retains the door. As illustrated in Figs. 13A, 13B, 14A, B, the contact carrier 418, comprises an L-shaped front portion 462, which receives a modular outlet and includes a plurality of slots 464, for receiving the contacts 414. The recesses or slots 464, they are at the front end of the lower leg portion 468, and in a partial channel 470, on the front surface of the upper leg portion 472. A second channel 474 is defined on the rear surface of the portion 472. The channel 474, is defined by case extensions 469, with beveled edges 471, on an upper edge thereof and includes notches 473, which are coextensive with the panel receiving slot 444, in the case 412, when the case and the carrier 418, they are assembled The front end of the lower leg portion 468 is inclined to cooperate with the curved front end of the panel 452, when the carrier 418 is inserted into the box 412, to retain the contact carrier 418, inside the connector box 412, the arms 476, 478 are provided. These arms each include an inclined surface 480, to assist insertion of the carrier 418, in the box 412, from the rear part thereof, and the retaining edges 482. These edges they engage and are received in holes 428, from the side panels 424, and 426, a block termination portion 484, extends backward from the lower end of the portion 482. The block portion 484, includes a plurality of slots 486 , in its lower portion for the contacts 414. The lower portion thereof comprises three different surfaces in three levels to place the contacts. The surfaces are illustrated in Figs. 14B and 14C, and are identified by the figures 485a, 485b, 485c, each of the surfaces allows to place the desired contacts. In addition, the surfaces with which they are molded in the same carrier, provide mechanical stability for individual contacts in each of the surfaces where they are placed. It should be noted that the recesses 464 include three different levels of surfaces 485a, 485b, 485c, which can be seen in Fig. 14c. Each recess 486 communicates with an opening 488, which extends through the block portion 484, where the corresponding contacts 414 pass through. A ramp 490 defines a retaining flange 492, and is on each side 494, 496, of the block portion 484. A recess 498, defined between the block portion 484, and the downward extension 500, of the lower leg portion 468 m recess 498, receives contact portions 414, when installed on the contact carrier 418. Extending backward from block 484 is cable trap 700. This includes side walls 702, including cut-away edges 704, to retain the termination hood discussed below. The body 706, of the trap 700, which is disposed between the side walls 702, includes a plurality and preferably four protuberances 708, oriented on a rear section, these protuberances are adapted to find tabs on the termination hood, supporting them to prevent the breaking if the cable pulls. In addition, the wire retention is provided by the projections 710, these projections provide a form of gentle retention or stress relief only with respect to the two central pairs, as appreciated by the technician. Effort relief is provided because there is space and not because such relief is necessary for the invention. In communication with the members discussed above, there are several features of the termination hood 416 of this embodiment. As noted above, the protrusions 708 are immediately adjacent the tabs 712 of the hood 416. It should be noted that since the tabs 712 must be able to deflect in order to pass a twisted pair, they can be broken by a brpsco handling, to prevent the possibility of breakage, the protuberances 708, support the same when the hood 416, coupled with the carrier 418. The tabs 712, itself are extensions of the walls 714, extending down from a surface lower 716, hood 416, discrete or independent areas of lower surface 716, in combination with brackets 718, support tongues 728, and central wall 730, define grooves 732, as illustrated in Fig. 15a, each of the slots 732, is configured to accept a twisted pair to pass through the plurality of recesses 584, defined by the teeth 586. Each of these 586, includes the head 587, narrower at the tip and wider near the body of each tooth 586, as shown. This arrangement provides a path for each wire without twisting, the path being greater than the same conductor and narrower than the outer dimension of the insulation, ahuse, some retention is provided. It should be noted that for easier insertion of each wire between each notch 584, the head 587, includes angled surfaces 588, to assist the entry of wires into the recesses 584, each twisted pair is urged from the slots 732, over the ramp 733, to the second lower surface 734. The lower surface second 734 , supports separation ears 736, and also provides IDC receptacles, 738, for receiving them after sn presses on the individual wires. It is preferable that the individual wires are not untwisted until beyond the ears 736, making the untwisted sections as small as possible. The ears 736 are four and work to create four separate steps for each twisted pair. After the wires are untwisted and fixed in the appropriate notches, they are consequently placed on the IDC, 738 receptacles, which place them on the desired IDC extending upwards from the contact carrier 418. As described above, in the modalities the contacts in this modality, provide the same benefits and are arranged basically in the same way.

It should be noted, that one of the benefits conferred by the arrangement of the invention, is that the mass termination becomes easier as the amount of pressure required to terminate the wires is reduced. The reduced pressure is caused by a stepped height of the IDC. Staggering the height causes a few wires to end while the terminating hood 416 is forced into engagement with the receptacle 410. Once the wires have been inserted into the recesses of the termination hoods as set forth above, the wires are cut if they extend beyond the recesses and the wires terminate on respective insulation displacement terminals. The wires are terminated by inserting block 592, in channel 474, of contact carrier 418, aligning the termination hood 416 therewith, with contact carrier 418, and pushing down until the insulating displacement terminals remove the insulation in the wires and connect electrically with the conductive wire (this is a ground or ground termination). The termination hood 416 is retained on the contact carrier 418 by the retainer lips 740, which tabs are removable by conventional means if desired. Referring to the inserts it will be appreciated that the assembly thereof is identical to that of the previous embodiment.

Referring to Fig. 18, seven modular outlets, 10A-F, in corresponding openings 353, 355, of a wall plate 357 are shown installed (in a stackable manner laterally). The recesses 454, 458, of each of the modular outputs receive corresponding edges of the wall plate in the openings. As is clearly shown, the modular outputs provide a gravity feed, the advantages of which are known, for example in the patent 5,362,254, already cited. It is important to note that the receptacles of the invention can be inserted either from the front or from the back of the plate to make installation easy. As in the other embodiment, it is an important feature of the invention that while the modular outputs are arranged in accordance with a standard configuration, for example, T568A, the displacement terminals are configured to improve the termination of the wiring, also being they present with respect to this outlet an elastic door for the modular plug opening. Fig. 16A, illustrates the complete assembly with the door 870, in place, while Fig. 16B, removes the door for better appreciation. Referring to Figs. 17A-D, the door 870, includes the plate 872, which has the pull tab 874, extending from one edge thereof and the opening cap 876, projecting from a rear surface thereof. Opposedly disposed on the plate with respect to the tongue is the hinge fixing member 878, which is engageable between the bottom panel and the elastic member of the box 418, the hinge joint member 878, includes the narrow band 880, which it extends laterally through the member 878, and adjacent the plate 872, the band 880, returns to the door 870, easily operable. The member 878, includes the wedge 882, connected to the band 880, and communicates with the area defined between the bottom panel 452, and the elastic member 454, the depression 881, is for engaging the rib 453, on the member 454. Channel 883 is provided to allow member 878 to align with node 454 upon insertion. The door 870 is constructed of a deformable material and preferably of neoprene, the door must be inserted in the box, only after the outlet has been inserted in the wall plate. Otherwise due to the strength of the door, the elastic member 454 would not be deformed enough to allow the outlet to be inserted into the plate. Referring to Fig. 19, a shield 760 is illustrated, in a form extracted from the contact carrier 418, the shielding is employable with all the brackets presented here, if desired, by fitting the shield in the desired connection, the shield provides a single and continuous low impedance connection for the shielding of the shield. incoming cable and the shield that comes out, not shown. As the technicians appreciate, a low impedance path, which avoids the disadvantages of multiple current carrying connections and therefore a high impedance path, is very advantageous. The armor of the invention includes a pair of fingers 762, which extend from the frame 764, and which are contact points for the shield to contact the plug to be inserted in the support of the invention. In order to create a solid connection, the finger ends 776 include an inwardly bent portion that acts to tighten a subsequent connection. The frame 764 further includes a tab 758, which may be connected to a ground box not shown. The tab 768 is configured for a standard female terminal that is not shown. Alternatively, if another earth is desired, the unemployed 770 have angled ends 772, which extend from an upper frame edge 764, to ground a phase plate. In this alternative, the ends 772, nest in the notches 453, on the carrier 418, and contact the face plate when the receptacle is inserted therein.

The trailing edge of the frame 764 supports the rearwardly extending members 774 terminating in the end plates 776. To provide sufficient space for the holder 418, which upon engaging is located between the members 774, each member contains two areas. bent, the front area 778, wide the dimension between the members 774, and the rear bent area 780, narrows the dimension to basically the same dimension as the frame 764. The plates 776 define the contact area for the incoming cable shield. Referring to Fig. 20, an exploded view of the invention is seen with the shield in place. Placed in this manner, the ends 772 are visible in the recesses 473. The observation of this figure provides a complete understanding of the coupling of the shield 760 with the carrier 418. FIGS. 21 and 22, provide views of all the output already assembled. In another embodiment of the invention, referring to Figs. 23-25, a straight outlet is illustrated, the straight outlet 810, employs the contact carrier 418, and the termination hood 416, of the previous embodiment, but uses a box 812, constructed somewhat different from the previous ones. In general, the case 812, has a similar configuration, with a front panel 820, with a standard modular opening 822, and two side panels 824 and 826, which define holes 828 and 830. The upper panel 832 and the lower 852, differ structure and orientation of the modality 412. For clarity of the drawings, all the parts use identical figures but it should be appreciated that all the exit 810 is used from the previous modalities, the upper panel 872 includes the angled stops 834A and 834B, which have a ramp towards each other and provide stop surfaces defining a recess 874, which receives a panel. The recess 864 is placed closer to the panel 820, than the recess 444, to the panel 420, in the previous embodiment, because the outlet 810 is not intended to provide gravity feed.
