Embodiment Construction

[0019] figure 1 is a front perspective view of an electrical connector 100 formed in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. As described below, the coupler 100 provides expanded connection capacity for existing switchgear and equipment. While the coupler 100 is particularly suitable for use in high speed data transmission systems, it should be understood that for other applications, the coupler 100 may have more significant benefits and advantages. Accordingly, the description given below is for explanatory purposes only and is not intended to limit the present invention to any particular scope of application.

[0020] The coupler 100 includes a front housing 102 and a rear housing 104 . In the illustrated embodiment, the front housing 102 is fabricated from known plastic materials according to known processes and techniques and is generally rectangular. As such, the front housing 102 includes a top wall 106 , a bottom wall 108 , side walls 110 , ...

Abstract

An electrical coupler including a first housing (104) having at least one receptacle jack and a second housing (102) coupled to the first housing (104). The second housing (102) including at least a pair of receptacle jacks corresponding to the at least one receptacle jack (154). A splitter assembly (180) extending between the first (104) and second (102) housings, and including a plurality of contacts (160...) located in each of the receptacle jacks (154...). The splitter assembly (180) including a printed circuit board (1-82) adapted to split input signals to said at least one receptacle jack (154) to each of the pair of receptacle jacks. One (102) of the first (104) and second (102) housings being adapted for mounting the coupler to a panel.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to electrical connectors, and more particularly to an electrical connector capable of splitting a signal input from an input receptacle to a pair of output receptacles. Background technique [0002] Increasingly complex voice and data communication networks The growth in the number of devices presents several challenges to network interconnected devices. In particular, while some switchgear and switchgear facilitate network operation, connecting a large number of network devices to the switchgear becomes problematic. Switchgear and equipment are generally provided for a predetermined number of connections and are limited by the limited capacity of the switchgear used for the connections. Replacing lower capacity still functioning switchgear with newer switchgear is a costly solution when using higher capacity switchgear and may not be practical given the number of switchgear present in the network viable option...
