Shielded high density patch panel

摘要

A shielded patch panel including a shield coupler that electrically connects a shield layer from an incoming cable to the shielded housing of a modular outlet. The shield layer of a shielded incoming cable is connected to the shield coupler through a spade that facilitates installation of the incoming cable. The shield coupler includes a plurality of arms that electrically connect the shield layer of the incoming cable to a shielded housing of the modular outlet. The shield coupler enhances the transfer impedance of the screened patch panels and results in compliance with the transfer impedance requirements.
