Abstract
A connector for a shielded pair type cable with grounding drain conductor is designed to enable equipment to be connected in series by means of a shielded drop and insert cable to a shielded cable which comprises a pair of wires and an electromagnetic shield continuity drain conductor. The connector comprises a terminal block comprising a support member in which is accommodated a cutting device disposed between four connecting members each adapted to receive one wire of the drop and insert cable and one of the two wires of the cable. The terminal block is housed in an insulative material casing inside a Faraday cage connected to two grounding terminals accessible from outside the casing, one directly and the other via a capacitor.
Claims6
Connector for connecting a transmitter and/or receiver using a shielded drop and insert cable comprising two pairs of individually insulated transmission wires to a shielded cable which comprises one pair of individually insulated transmission wires and an electromagnetic shield continuity drain conductor within an electromagnetic shield, said connector comprising a terminal block comprising a support member accommodating a cutting device disposed between four clamp and insulation cutting type connecting members each enabling an individual connection of two insulated wires and each designed to receive one of the four transmission wires of the drop and insert cable and one of the two transmission wires of the cable, the cutting device being movable inside a housing of the support member between a first position allowing two wires to pass between each of the two connecting members, situated to either side of a compartment of the housing, and a second position in which the cutting device is disposed between the connecting members situated to either side of the compartments of the housing, optionally after first cutting the crossing wires, said connector, being accommodated in an insulative material housing and comprising an internal Faraday cage into which the cable conductors extend and accommodating the support member and the connecting members and said shields of said cables being connected so as to form with said cable shields a container protecting against electromagnetic radiation and wherein said cage is connected to two grounding terminals accessible from outside the housing, one directly to said cage and the other via a capacitor.
