Abstract
A connector and assembly of a cabling category and comprising two mating zones connected by an intermediate zone. Each of the zones is manufactured such that Near End Cross Talk (NEXT) resulting from transmission of the high frequency signal across each zone is below a specified amount chosen such that NEXT introduced by a high frequency signal transmission between via all the zones is below a level as specified for the cabling category.
Claims10
An assembly for interconnecting a first cable comprising a first plurality of twisted pairs of conductors with a second cable comprising a second plurality of twisted pairs of conductors, each of the cables of a cabling category conforming to a cabling standard, the assembly comprising:
- a first mating zone comprising a first plurality of pairs of contacts, each of the first pairs of contacts configured for connection with a respective pair of the first plurality of twisted pairs of conductors;
- a second mating zone comprising a second plurality of pairs of contacts, each of the second pairs of contacts configured for connection with a respective pair of the second plurality of twisted pairs of conductors;
- and
- an intermediate transmission zone interconnecting each contact of the first pairs of contacts with a respective one of the second pairs of contacts;
- wherein each of the first mating zone, second mating zone and the intermediate zone comprises an independent coupling network and such that NEXT introduced by a high frequency signal transmission between the first cable and the second cable in each of the first mating zone, the second mating zone and the intermediate zone is below a level as specified for the cabling category and the NEXT resulting from transmission of the high frequency signal between the first cable and the second cable is below a level as specified in the cabling standard.
