Definitions
- the present invention concerns a strain-relieved leading- in connection for signal cables with a cable jacket and with several twisted wire pairs, respectively an apparatus or a connection element of the plug or socket type with such a leading-in connection, where clamping means are provided for co-operation with the cable for the strain-relieving of a closely disposed termination area for the wires in the cable. Regardless of whether the ends of the wires are terminated by- soldering or clamping, it will be unfortunate if forces arising on the cable shall be absorbed solely by these assemblies. The same applies for current supply cables, also in- eluding those for power lines where, e.g. in connection with input plugs, it is quite traditional to use strain-relieving by firm clamping of the cable in the relevant lead-in connection.
- Fig. 1 is a schematic view of a cross-section of a signal cable with an outer cable jacket 2 and a number of internal wire pairs, designated 4a-d.
- each pair of cables is twisted with a quite definite pitch which is different from the others, and the pairs are twisted around one another throughout the whole length of the cable. In principle, this provides a perfect electrical balance between the wires in the individual pairs and between the pairs.
- Fig. 2 shows that when the same cable is terminated in a plug, by today's standard the round cable will be pressed into a common lead-in passage where, typically by using common clamping means 6, the jacket 2 with the wire pairs 4 are squeezed in a random and often quite unfortunate manner, in that the twist conditions are changed to a dramatic extent. Note, e.g., pairs 4a and 4c, where the possibility is created for a very inductive coupling, the reason being that the pair twisting has been ruined.
- fig. 3 is shown another known way of providing strain- relief for signal cables. Use is made here of a lead-through opening with an annular clamping arrangement 6 which can secure the cable by clamping around the cable jacket. This will result in less disturbance of the twist conditions, but on the other hand will give rise to an unfortunate tight squeezing together of the twisted wire pairs.
- the cable jacket can be secured in a reasonably effective manner by a moderate twisting together, but as indicated in fig.
- the object of the invention is to provide a lead-in con- nection which does not display the above-mentioned disadvantages, and according to the invention this can be achieved by dividing the lead-in area into mutually separated lead-in passages for the individual wire pairs, in that each of these passages is provided with clamping means for the clamping of the wire pairs which are led through them. It will be seen that a fixing of the cable jacket is hereby more or less done away with, but on the other hand it is achieved that the wire pairs will be completely separated and be individually and effectively secured, so that the termination areas are spared for undesirable influences on the cable.
- the individual wire pairs can naturally not absorb the same high forces as those which can be absorbed by a strong clamping of the whole of the cable, but by virtue of the surface pressure against the insulation layer of the wires in the respective wire pairs, a particularly good holding effect can, however, still be created, and which in by far the majority of cases will be fully adequate.
- the electrical couplings arising between the pairs will hereby be automatically weakened, and it will thus be of less importance that the regular twisting of the individual wire pairs can be disturbed quite locally in the individual lead-in passages.
- figs. 1-3 are illustrations respectively of a signal cable and two known methods of strain-relieved lead-in connections as already described
- figs. 4 and 5 are related longitudinal and cross- sectional views for the illustration of a lead-in connection according to the invention
- fig. 7 is a corresponding view of strain-relieving elements as in integral part of a connection element.
- a lead-in connection according to the invention will have a number of narrow pas- sages 8 for the individual wire pairs, said passages being generally disposed with a distance between them which is considerably greater than the distances between the wire pairs in the cable 2, which is indicated by a stippled circle C.
- the respective wire pairs are secured in the individual pas- sages by means of clamping parts 10 in the form of terminal screws, spring clips or clamps which can be activated individually or collectively.
- clamping parts 10 in the form of terminal screws, spring clips or clamps which can be activated individually or collectively.
- use can possibly be made of special filling-out elements 12 in the formation of the inner wall parts of the passages 8, said elements having a conical projecting part 14 which supports the wire pairs where these branch out from the signal cable.
- the lead-in element can be in the form of a separate element which can be connected mechanically to a connection plug 16, e.g. by means of retaining hooks 18. Moreover, it is shown that the same element can be connected to a casing 20 which extends rearwards in over the outer end of the cut-back cable jacket 2, and hereby stabilises this end against sharp bending-out immediately outside the lead-in element.
- the lead-in element is configured as an integrated part of a connection element with contact springs 22 for connection with a corresponding plug element.
- the invention will not only comprise the relevant lead-in elements with or without plug or apparatus parts, but also these units in the wire-mounted condition, where the signal wire pairs are arranged as disclosed here.
- the elements will also be able to be used even though the wires are not all grouped in well-defined "pairs".
