Definitions

  • the invention relates to a connecting cable comprising a cable with a large number of conductors, which are routed in pairs in a defined manner in the cable, with an identical electrical plug connection being arranged at both ends of the cable, with a cable manager being arranged at each of the two cable ends for fixing and defined guidance, in which cable managers the conductors of the cable are routed to the electrical contacts.
  • the most widely used electrical plug connection for symmetrical data cables is the RJ-45 plug connection (Regular Jack 45), various versions of which are known depending on the technical requirement.
  • RJ-45 plug connection (Regular Jack 45)
  • various versions of which are known depending on the technical requirement.
  • compensation measures are required in the socket to reduce the overall crosstalk to the necessary extent.
  • this requires tight tolerances for the crosstalk in the connector.
  • the crosstalk in the connector In order to provide compatibility with components from other manufacturers, the crosstalk in the connector must be defined within a narrow tolerance band for each combination of pairs.
  • the crosstalk in RJ-45 connectors can be defined by the physical configuration of the parallel-arranged contacts and of the parallel routing of the conductors. At the junction to a cable, the crosstalk between the conductor pairs is subject to very wide tolerances in this area, depending on where the twisting of the conductor pairs starts and the extent to which conductors in adjacent pairs touch. The required crosstalk levels cannot be guaranteed in this simple way.
  • Compliance with the required crosstalk levels in a connector requires that the conductors be fixed in a defined manner in the area where the conductor pairs are routed without being twisted and changes in the position invariably result in changes in the crosstalk between the conductor pairs. This fixing of the conductors is carried out by means of a cable manager.
  • Such a cable manager is disclosed, for example, in EP 0 789 939 B1.
  • This has guides on the bottom face and on top face, in which the conductor pairs are routed in a defined manner.
  • the conductors are in this case round within the cable manager essentially at right angles to the end surface of said cable manager, with the conductors being routed behind the cable manager into a common connecting plane, where they are then connected to the contacts.
  • the two outer conductor pairs are routed at the sides on the bottom face and top face of the opposite ends while, in contrast, the two inner conductor pairs for the interleaved contacts are routed virtually one above the other on the top face and bottom face.
  • Such a patch cable or connector cable is known from the 1998 Telecommunications and Data Components of the Product Catalogue from CobiNet GmbH, April 1998, page 2.3. The prospectus does not indicate the internal design or whether a cable manager is used, and how this is constructed.
  • the invention is thus based on the technical problem of providing a connecting cable of this generic type, in which the tolerances in the crosstalk levels at both ends of the cable are minimized.
  • a further technical problem is to provide a cable manager for this purpose.
  • a first inner conductor pair is routed from the top face, and a second inner conductor is routed from the bottom face of the cable manager into a connecting plane, without crossing and, from the rear face to the end surface in the second cable manager, the first inner conductor pair is routed from the bottom face, and the second inner conductor pair is routed from the top face, into a connecting plane without crossing.
  • Use is in this case made of the fact that, by virtue of the twisting, two conductor pairs can in each case be routed on the same side on both sides of the cable, while the two other conductor pairs interchange their sides. Either the two outer pairs or the two inner pairs can thus be routed in the same way at the two electrical plug connections.
  • the two inner conductors pairs are in each case routed such that they are interchanged at the two cable managers.
  • the two inner conductor pairs can be routed into their connecting plane at both ends in a well-defined manner, without crossing over.
  • the two inner conductor pairs lie in the same connecting plane E 1 .
  • the two inner conductor pairs lie close to one another and produce crosstalk which is required for compatibility purposes. Since the crosstalk is produced in the connecting plane, it does not need to be produced by the conductor pairs having a specific course with respect to one another in the cable manager, so that the longitudinal dimensions of the cable manager can be kept very small and compact.
  • the connecting plane of the inner conductor pairs lies on the top face of the cable manager, so that one conductor pair is in each case looped virtually straight through the cable manager at each end. This reduces the mechanical requirements for the cable managers since only one pair of conductors need change plane in each case.
  • the routing of the inner conductor pairs, or the one inner conductor pair, in the cable manager is designed to be diagonal or vertically angled, in order to change the connecting plane.
  • the advantage of diagonal routing is its simple implementation, since only continuous routing is required while, in contrast, the advantage of vertical angling is that the two inner conductor pairs can be routed at a greater distance from one another in the cable manager, so that the crosstalk is reduced.
  • the first inner conductor pair is routed in a V-shape or U-shape with respect to one another in the cable manager.
  • the cable managers are equipped with latching means, so that the cable managers can be latched into the electrical plug connection.
  • the cable manager comprises a non-conducting base body, which is constructed with guides for conductors, in which case the guides for the two outer conductor pairs are constructed essentially at right angles to one end surface at the side in the cable manager, and, from the rear face to the end surface of the cable manager, a first and a second inner pair are in each case routed in pairs from the top face and the bottom face within the cable manager into a common connecting plane E 1 . in the end surface.
  • the cable manager thus allows the plane of the conductor pairs to be changed from the rear face to the end surface without crossing.
  • the cable manager Since the changing of the two inner conductor pairs at the two cable ends must actually be reversed, the cable manager must either alternatively allow both guides, or else two cable managers of different design must be used for the two cable ends.
  • the guides may be constructed identically, so that there is no problem in using an identical cable manager, for both cable ends.
  • the two guides for the conductors differ. In this case, if the same cable manager is used, the cable manager must in each case provide guides for both the first and second inner conductor pairs on the top face to the end surface and on the bottom face to the end surface. Particularly with continuous guides, this is very complex.
  • the guide for the first inner conductor pair is routed from the top face into the connecting plane E 1 in the end surface, and the guide for the second, inner conductor pair is routed from the bottom face into the common connecting plane E 1 .
  • the guides in the second cable manager are constructed such that they are interchanged in a corresponding manner.
  • the connecting plane E 1 is preferably arranged under the top face, so that the conductor pair located at the top face on the rear face can in each case be routed virtually straight through the cable manager without changing the plane. A corresponding situation arises if the connecting plane is arranged under the bottom face.
  • the decision as to whether the connecting plane is associated with the top face or bottom face depends on the side from which the contents are intended to make contact with the conductors.
  • the guide for the first inner conductor pair is constructed at least partially in a U-shape or V-shape.
  • the guides from the rear face to the end surface are in the form of continuous channels, so that the conductors are routed in a defined manner over the entire length of the cable manager.
  • FIG. 1a is a perspective illustration of the conductor pairs at a first electrical contact arrangement
  • FIG. 1b is a perspective illustration of the conductor pairs at a second contact arrangement, which is opposite the first;
  • FIG. 2a is a perspective underneath view of a first cable manager
  • FIG. 2b is a perspective underneath view of a second cable manager

  • FIG. 3b is a perspective rear view of the second cable manager
  • FIG. 4 is an illustration of the conductor distribution at the two end faces of an eight-core cable (prior art).
  • FIG. 5 is a view of identical plug connections arranged at both ends of a cable.
  • FIG. 4 shows an eight-core cable 10 , in which the conductors 1 - 8 are arranged twisted in pairs in the cable 10 .
  • the conductor pairs are also designed to be twisted with respect to one another, with spiral conductor crossings or with shields between them. Irrespective of the nature of the routing within the cable 10 , this results in the conductor pair distribution as shown in FIG. 4 at both end faces.
  • the numbering of the conductors 1 - 8 is in this case chosen to correspond to that in an RJ-45 connection.
  • FIGS. 1a and 1b show a perspective view of a cable 10 with the conductor pairs 1 , 2 ; 7 , 8 ; 3 , 6 ; and 4 , 5 ; being routed according to the invention at both ends, with the cable managers which provide the routing not being shown, for clarity reasons.
  • FIG. 1a shows the front end and FIG. 1b the rear end of the cable 10 in FIG. 4 .
  • the inner conductor pairs 3 , 6 are [lacuna].
  • Contacts 43 - 46 for the conductors 3 - 6 are arranged in a first plane E 1
  • contacts 41 , 42 , 47 , 48 for the conductors 1 , 2 , 7 , 8 are arranged in a second plane E 2 .
  • the contacts 41 - 48 are in this case, for example, in the form of insulation-piercing contacts or insulation displacement contacts, which make electrical contact with the conductors 1 - 8 through their insulation.
  • the contacts 41 - 48 are all routed into a single contact area plane E 3 .
  • the sequence of the arrangement of the contacts 41 - 48 in this case corresponds to the typical RJ-45 plug connection.
  • the distribution of the conductor pairs when they emerge from the one end of the cable is as follows:
  • the conductor pairs 1 , 2 and 7 , 8 , respectively, are routed directly out of the cable 10 to their associated contacts 41 , 42 and 47 , 48 , respectively.
  • the conductor pair 4 , 5 can likewise be routed directly to its contacts 44 , 45 while, in contrast, the conductor pair 3 , 6 must be routed from above to its contacts 43 , 46 into the connecting plane E 1 , although the conductor pair 3 , 6 does not cross the conductor pair 4 , 5 .
  • FIG. 2a shows a perspective view of the bottom face, and FIG. 3a of the rear face of a first cable manager 11 .
  • the cable manager 11 comprises a non-conductive base body, which has a guide 21 - 28 for each conductor 1 - 8 . These guides 21 - 28 extend from the rear face 12 to the end 13 of the cable manager 11 .
  • the guides 21 , 22 , 27 , 28 are arranged at the sides and run vertically with respect to the rear face 12 and end 13 .
  • the guides 21 , 22 , 27 , 28 in this case all lie in a common connecting plane E 2 .
  • the first cable manager 11 comprises an H-shaped guide element 14 , which is arranged on the rear face 12 of the cable manager 11 .
  • the guides 24 , 25 of the conductor pair 4 , 5 start in the part of the H-shaped guide element 14 facing the bottom face 15 .
  • the guides 24 , 25 run parallel to one another from the bottom face 15 into the connecting plane E 1 .
  • the connecting plane E 1 is located slightly below the top face 16 of the cable manager 11 at the end 13 .
  • the guides 24 , 25 run either diagonally or vertically at an angle in the cable manager 11 . In the case of the vertically angled embodiment, the guides 24 , 25 initially run parallel in the region of the bottom face 15 , and are then angled at right angles to the top face 16 up to the level of the connecting plane E 1 , and from there at right angles in the direction of the end 13 .
  • the guides 23 , 26 start in the part of the H-shaped guide element 14 facing the top face 16 . On the rear face 12 , these guides 23 , 26 are already located at the level of the connecting plane E 1 . In contrast to the guides 24 , 25 which are routed parallel to one another, the guides 23 , 26 run in a V-shape with respect to one another since the conductors 3 , 6 to be guided have to be routed to the interleaved contacts 43 , 46 .
  • FIGS. 2b and 3b show corresponding views of a second cable manager 17 .
  • the second cable manager 17 is likewise designed with eight guides 31 - 38 for the conductors 1 - 8 , with the guides 31 , 32 , 37 , 38 being identical to the guides 21 , 22 , 27 , 28 in the first cable manager 11 .
  • the end 18 of the second cable manager 17 is designed in the same way as the end 13 of the first cable manager 11 .
  • the contacts 11 - 18 which cannot be seen, are also designed and arranged in a completely identical manner. The only difference is in the guides 33 , 36 , 34 , 35 for the conductor pairs 3 , 6 and 4 , 5 .
  • the guides 33 , 36 thus run in a V-shape from the bottom face 19 into the connecting plane E 1 .
  • the guides may in this case run either diagonally or vertically angled.
  • the guides 34 , 35 on the rear face 20 of the second cable manager 17 are already at the level of the connecting plane E 1 , and thus pass straight through at right angles to the rear face 20 .
  • the conductors 1 - 8 can thus be routed in a defined manner and without crossing over in two identical electrical plug connections, and the two cable managers 11 , 17 need be modified only to a minimal extent with respect to one another.
