Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of signal transmission, and more particularly to a modular socket housing suitable for various types of connectors. Background Technology

[0002] Keystone Jacks are modular connectors widely used in networking, audio / video, and data transmission. They are primarily installed in Keystone outlets, wall panels, or patch panels to provide standardized connection interfaces. However, existing Keystone Jacks have the following problems:

[0003] 1. Limited connector types: Most Keystone Jacks on the market currently only support a single type of connector, which cannot flexibly adapt to different signal interfaces. This forces users to purchase and replace different modules, increasing costs and maintenance complexity.

[0004] 2. Lack of built-in signal conversion function: Some applications require signal conversion, such as HDMI to DisplayPort, USB (USB2.0, USB3.0, TypeC) to RJ45 network, etc. However, the traditional Keystone Jack only provides physical connection and cannot perform signal conversion. Users need to rely on additional adapters, which increases space requirements and cabling difficulty.

[0005] 3. Limited installation options: Most Keystone Jacks are fixed designs. When users need to change to different types of connectors, the entire Keystone Jack must be removed and rewiring done. Different second housing types cannot be selected according to usage requirements, which affects the flexibility of equipment installation and increases construction costs.

[0006] 4. Inconvenient maintenance and upgrades: When equipment requirements change, users need to disassemble the entire Keystone Jack and rewire it. The lack of modular design results in long maintenance time and cumbersome operation.

[0007] In view of this, in order to solve the above problems, this utility model proposes a modular socket housing suitable for multiple types of connectors. It can adapt to multiple types of connectors, support modular installation, and allow selection of different forms of second housings to improve the flexibility and adaptability of the system, reduce additional adapter requirements, and improve installation convenience.
