COMMUNICATIONS CONNECTOR SYSTEM

摘要

Shields, wire connectors, crimping devices, and wire managers. At least some of the shields are used with a cable that includes a jacket surrounding wire pairs, and a different pair shield surrounding each wire pair. Such shields include a compressible member positioned adjacent end portions of a portion of the wire pairs. The compressible member presses a conductive member against the pair shield surrounding each wire pair in the portion of wire pairs. At least some of the wire connectors include a conductive body positionable alongside a selected wire having a connector surrounded circumferentially by an insulating jacket. The body includes a receptacle with a tapered opening defined between first and second edge portions of the body. As a portion of the selected wire passes through the opening into the receptacle, the first and second edge portions cut through the insulating jacket to contact the conductor.

1. A shield for use with a cable comprising a cable jacket surrounding a plurality of wire pairs, and a different pair shield surrounding each wire pair, end portions of the wire pairs extending outwardly from the cable jacket, the shield comprising one or more compressible members positioned adjacent the end portions of at least a portion of the wire pairs, the one or more compressible members being configured to press one or more conductive members against the pair shield surrounding each wire pair in the portion of wire pairs.
