TELECOMMUNICATIONS CABLING SYSTEM, AND ELECTRICAL CONNECTION MODULE AND SHIELDING INTERFACE THEREFOR

摘要

A telecommunications cabling system, including: (a) an earthed support (12); and (b) at least one connection module (100) mounted to the earthed support (12), including: (i) a housing (200; 220) for a plurality of electrical contact members (212), the housing (200; 220) having a plurality of recesses (202) to receive wires of at least one shielded cable (50); (ii) at least one opening to receive an end of an electrical connector (300; 400) to place electrical contacts at the end of the electrical connector (300; 400) in direct or indirect electrical communication with at least some of the wires; and (iii) a shielding interface (110) for the connection module (100); wherein the shielding interface (110) is simultaneously contactable with shielding (52) of the shielded cable (50), a corresponding shielding interface (500) of the electrical connector (400), and the earthed support (12).
