Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPH11508723
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
This invention is directed to a patch cord cable assembly for use in a high speed transmission cable network, more particularly to an electrical connector which gives the assembly the capability of transmitting data at 100 MHz frequency while offering near-end crosstalk (NEXT) at EIA/TIA 568-A Category 5 performance levels. The preferred electrical connector comprises a pair of interfitting housing members, and a plurality of side-by-side electrical terminals positioned between the housing members for establishing electrical contact with the individual wires of a cable. The terminals are arranged at essentially one end of the housing members and the cable is caused to enter said housing members from an opposite end thereof. One of the housing members includes a cable jacket stop intermediate the ends and plural, spaced-apart posts between the cable jacket stop and the one end. The jacketed cable is fed into one housing member and the jacket about the cable seats in the cable jacket stop with selected pairs of twisted wire continuing toward the one end. Further, the respective pairs of wires are separated from adjacent pairs and spaced apart by the plural posts. Finally, the twists are maintained, and the respective ends of individual wires are positioned for termination to respective electrical terminals.
