Definitions

  • This invention relates to electrical connectors and in particular to the reduction of cross-talk between wires in telecommunications connectors.
  • the term telecommunication connector used throughout includes connectors for both voice and data applications.
  • cross-talk which may be defined as the voltage generated in one wire due to interference from a signal passing in an adjacent wire.
  • the induced signal will have some inductive and capacitive components and will, therefore, vary with frequency.
  • Cross-talk is a particular problem at higher frequencies and an especially difficult problem to control in data transmission lines as the induced cross-talk signal is a true data signal and is recognised, accepted and processed as such by the associated data processing equipment.
  • the Standard Connector used in Data Communications Interfaces is the RJ 45 connector.
  • the specification for this connector is defined in International Standard IEC 603-7 of the International Electrotechnical Commission.
  • the RJ 45 connector available from AT & T corporation of Warren, New Jersey, USA, is a miniature connector having eight parallel contacts formed from spring wire.
  • cross-talk may be reduced in communications cabling systems by twisting pairs of conductors used for a single circuit. As the current flows 'out' through one conductor and 'back' through the other, the nett interference effect of these two current flows is destructive as they are mutually cancelling; the electromagnetic and electrostatic fields induced by the outward flow will exactly cancel those induced by the return flow.
  • the cross-talk between pairs 1 and 3 will be higher than that between other pairs as the contact wires for pair 1 are arranged between the contact wires for pair 3.
  • the invention aims to reduce the effect of cross-talk between communications contacts.
  • the invention in its various aspects resides in various arrangements which reduce the problem of cross-talk in the situations discussed.
  • cross-talk arises between pairs 1 and 3 as a long section of wire for each conductor of each pair is laid in the connector in close proximity.
  • a typical length is about 25 mm.
  • Wire 3 induces cross-talk in wire 4 and the opposite sense of flow in wire 6 induces cross-talk in wire 5 in the opposite sense to that induced in wire 4.
  • Figure 2 shows the normal twist of the wire pairs illustrated in Figure 1 according to the prior art.
  • the wires of each pair are twisted one with the other.
  • the apparatus, shown in Figure 3 departs from this by twisting wire 3 from pair 3 with wire 5 from pair 1, and wire 6 from pair 3 with wire 4 from pair 1.
  • This arrangement is adopted for a short length which can be determined experimentally or mathematically to cancel the cross-talk in the receptacle.
  • wires may be simply crossed over and laid parallel in a similar manner to the way in which they are situated in the receptacle.
  • the wires may be connected to the rear insulation displacement connector at a fixed wiring interface such that they are transposed relative to their position in the receptacle.
  • wire 3 is transposed to be adjacent wire 5 and wire 4 is adjacent to wire 6.
  • Figure 4 shows a first embodiment of the invention, again, the eight parallel wires are numbered 1 through 8 and their standard wiring pairs are indicated above.
  • wires 4 and 5 form pair 1 line 4 being the 'out' line and wire 5 the 'return'.
  • Wires 1 and 2 form pair 2, wires 3 and 6 pair 3 and wires 7 and 8 pair 4. This configuration is adopted by convention although the fourth pair is sometimes omitted if not needed.
  • each wire is twisted with at least two other wires, and three in the case of 4.
  • the net effect is to present the wires for termination at the IDC in the correct pairs with wires of each pair being adjacent. It will be appreciated that the position of the wires of pair 1 at the IDC have been reversed, thus wire 5 is on the left of wire 4.
  • wires 1 and 3 are twisted four times per unit length (P.U.L.) in a clockwise direction.
  • Wires 6 and 8 are twisted twice (P.U.L.) in a counter-clockwise direction, wires 4 and 7 three times P.U.L. clockwise and wires 2 and 5 twice P.U.L. counter-clockwise.
  • the relative positions of the wires is shown at A in the figure.
  • Wire 4 is then twisted twice P.U.L. with wire 6 in a clockwise direction and then three times with wire 5 counter-clockwise.
  • Wires 1 and 2 are twisted twice counter-clockwise, wires 3 and 6 twice clockwise and wires 7 and 8 also twice clockwise. The result is the wire configuration at the IDC and is shown at B in the figure.
  • Figure 5 shows an alternative twist configuration which is set out in table 2 below.
  • the wires of each pair, after twisting according to table 2 below are twisted together continuously to the edge of the connector.
  • wire 1 is first twisted two twists clockwise with wire 3 whilst wire 2 is twisted with wire 5 two twists counter clockwise.
  • Wires 1 and 2 are then braided in their normal configuration.
  • the first recited wire is twisted over the second wire.
  • wire 1 is twisted over wire 3.
  • the number of twists in figure 5 is the same for each twist pair in contrast to the embodiment of figure 4.
  • the twist rate in the figure 5 embodiments should be approximately 4-5 twists per inch and the twist length 9 to 12 mm measured from the jack to the V of the wires in each of the first, or previous twist pairs.
  • figure 6 which shows a WE8W carrier 10 which carries eight contact wires A - H.
  • the insulated wires 1 - 8 are each attached to a respective contact wire A - H and the twists occur in the region proximate the end 12 of the carrier 10 into which the insulated wires are inserted.
  • the carrier and wires are mounted in a body to form a modular jack or connector.
  • each wire is twisted with at least one wire from a different pair.
  • Other configurations which achieve the result may be determined by those skilled in the art.
