Removable Partition Connector Rack for Crosstalk Isolation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In communications technology, patch panels often experience crosstalk between connectors, which interferes with signal integrity, and grounding issues exacerbate this problem, making it difficult to maintain usability and reduce interference in connector mounting racks.
Innovation Solution
A connector mounting rack with removable partitions that can be configured to isolate crosstalk by engaging with a frame, allowing for different material choices and arrangements to optimize usability and reduce interference.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Object-affected harmful factors
If fixed partitions are used on the connector mounting rack, then crosstalk isolation between connectors is improved, but device complexity and grounding requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The partition system is divided into multiple independent removable partitions that can be individually installed or removed. Each partition is a separate component with engaging parts that connect to the frame, allowing selective deployment based on grounding conditions and crosstalk requirements without requiring a complete fixed partition system
Solution Approach 2:
The partitions are designed to be removable and reconfigurable rather than fixed. The engaging parts allow partitions to be easily attached and detached from the frame, enabling dynamic adjustment of the partition configuration to match varying operational conditions, grounding arrangements, and crosstalk isolation needs
2Adaptability or versatility
If removable partitions are added to the connector mounting rack, then usability and adaptability are improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The removable partitions serve multiple functions: they provide crosstalk isolation when needed, can be removed when grounding is adequate, and allow flexible reconfiguration for different connector arrangements. The same partition structure adapts to various operational conditions without requiring multiple specialized components
Solution Approach 2:
The partition system consists of multiple independent removable units rather than a single complex fixed structure. Each partition is a simple, standardized component that can be independently managed, installed, or removed, reducing the overall system complexity while maintaining versatility

AI summary
A connector mounting rack configured to assemble a plurality of connectors includes a panel, a frame and one or more first partitions. The panel has a plurality of openings formed in an array, each adjacent two of the openings separated by a portion of the panel. The frame is arranged at a back side of the panel. The frame has one or more first walls arranged corresponding to the portion of the panel between the openings along a first direction to define a slot between each adjacent two of the first walls. The slot communicates with the opening. Each of the one or more first walls has an assembling part. Each of the one or more first partitions has a first engaging part and removably connected to one of the one or more first walls by engaging the first engaging part with the assembling part.
