Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of seven types of module connection technology, specifically a high-speed network cable seven-type module. Background Technology

[0002] With the popularization of 5G communication, cloud computing, and big data technologies, the demand for high-speed data transmission in network equipment is increasing. As a key infrastructure supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10Gbps), the performance of the connection module of Category 7 cable directly affects the stability and reliability of signal transmission. Traditional RJ-45 interface modules suffer from insufficient electromagnetic shielding and loose contact terminals at high frequencies (such as 600MHz), resulting in significant signal crosstalk and attenuation, making it difficult to meet the application requirements of demanding scenarios such as industrial control and data centers.

[0003] Most of the existing seven types of modules use a single-shielded structure. The mechanical locking structure between the elastic clips and the slots is prone to poor contact due to wear and tear during insertion and removal. This can lead to module loosening, especially in vibrating environments, causing network interruptions. In addition, the lack of a symmetrical layout design can result in uneven stress on the connectors, which may cause interface deformation over time and affect signal transmission quality.

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, this invention proposes a high-speed Category 7 network cable module. Through a double-shielded structure, symmetrical mounting shell design, and precise cooperation between the elastic clips and the fixing slots, it enhances the stability of high-frequency signal transmission. The symmetrical mounting shells inside the module body ensure balanced force on the connectors. The semi-circular protrusions of the elastic clips form an elastic lock with the fixing slots, combined with the auxiliary positioning of the plastic clips, effectively solving the problems of unreliable mechanical connections and insufficient anti-interference capabilities in existing technologies, providing reliable support for the stable operation of 10 Gigabit networks. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Technical problems to be solved

[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a high-speed network cable Category 7 module, which solves the problems mentioned in the background section.

[0007] (II) Technical Solution

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model specifically adopts the following technical solution:

[0009] A high-speed network cable Category 7 module includes a module body and a connector that plugs into the module body. Two symmetrically mounted mounting shells are embedded inside the module body. Elastic clips are provided on the side walls of the mounting shells. A plastic clip is fixedly connected to one side wall of the connector. Sliding grooves are provided on the side walls of the connector, and fixing grooves are provided at corresponding positions in the sliding grooves.

[0010] Furthermore, the fixing groove is used to fix the side end of the contact elastic clip.

[0011] Furthermore, the engaging portion of the elastic clip is a semi-circular protrusion.

[0012] Furthermore, the insertion depth of the connector into the mounting housing is such that the elastic clip corresponds to the fixing groove.

[0013] Furthermore, the two symmetrically installed mounting shells allow the connectors to be symmetrically arranged, and the plastic clips are correspondingly engaged on the mounting shells without interfering with each other.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Example

[0023] like Figure 1-3As shown, an embodiment of this utility model proposes a high-speed network cable Category 7 module, including a module body 1 and a connector 2 that plugs into the module body 1. The module body 1 provides a fixed support for the mounting shell 3, forming a modular structure; and the connector 2 is plugged into and cooperates with the module body 1 to realize the physical carrier of electrical connection.

[0024] The module body 1 has two symmetrically installed mounting shells 3 embedded inside, which support the elastic clips 4. The symmetrical layout achieves balanced positioning of the connectors 2; it serves as a mounting carrier for the electrical components inside the module and improves the structural rigidity.

[0025] The mounting housing 3 has elastic clips 4 on both sides. When the connector 2 is inserted, the semi-circular engaging part is compressed due to elastic deformation, slides into the fixing groove 7, and then springs back to lock, forming an "elastic locking" structure. This provides the mechanical connection with pull-out resistance, prevents the connector 2 from accidentally loosening, and ensures the contact stability of signal transmission.

[0026] A plastic clip 5 is fixedly connected to one side wall of the connector 2. The physical engagement assists in positioning and prevents the connector 2 from being tilted when inserted. In conjunction with the symmetrical mounting shell 3, it ensures that the force on both sides of the connector 2 is even and improves the connection reliability. This part is the prior art.

[0027] The connector 2 has sliding grooves 6 on both sides, and a fixing groove 7 is provided at the corresponding position in the sliding grooves 6.

[0028] The working principle of this high-speed network cable Category 7 module is as follows: When the connector 2 is inserted into the module body 1, the sliding grooves 6 on both sides of its side walls slide along the elastic clips 4 on the outside of the mounting shell 3. When the connector 2 is inserted to a set depth, the semi-circular engaging part of the elastic clip 4 aligns with the fixing groove 7 due to elastic deformation and engages, achieving mechanical locking between the module body 1 and the connector 2. At the same time, the plastic clips 5 on the side walls of the connector 2 engage with the mounting shell 3. The symmetrically distributed mounting shells 3 ensure that the connector 2 is subjected to uniform force and accurately positioned. This structure, through the engagement of the elastic clips 4 and the fixing grooves 7, and the cooperation of the plastic clips 5 and the mounting shell 3, forms a dual positioning and locking mechanism, ensuring the connection stability of the Category 7 module during high-speed signal transmission and reducing signal attenuation or crosstalk problems caused by poor contact.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the fixing groove 7 contacts the side end of the elastic clip 4 for fixing and locking.

[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the engaging portion of the elastic clip 4 is a semi-circular protrusion, which facilitates insertion and removal.

[0031] like Figure 1As shown, in some embodiments, the insertion depth of the connector 2 into the mounting housing 3 is such that the elastic clip 4 corresponds to the fixing groove 7, and the corresponding design facilitates insertion and removal.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the two symmetrically installed mounting shells 3 make the connectors 2 symmetrically arranged, and the plastic clips 5 are correspondingly engaged on the mounting shells 3 without interfering with each other, thus achieving a multi-channel design.

[0033] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
