Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine strapazierfähige Steckeranordnung für Datenkabel, insbesondere RJ-45-Kabel.The invention relates to a durable connector assembly for Data cables, in particular RJ-45 cables.

Die Übertragung von elektronischen Daten zwischen Rechensystemen über Kabel ist allgemein bekannt. Diese Kabel weisen üblicherweise einen mehrere Pole besitzenden Stecker bzw. Steckverbinder auf, dessen Konfiguration einem rechteckigen Telefonstecker ähnlich ist. Ein vielfach verwendeter 8-poliger-Stecker ist in Fachkreisen als "RJ-45"-Stecker bekannt. Zum Beispiel werden für vernetzte Personal Computer häufig RJ-45-Stecker als Verbindung zu den einzelnen Computern an der Netzkarten-Schnittstelle verwendet.The transfer of electronic data between computing systems via Cable is well known. These cables usually have one more Pole possessing plug or connector, the configuration of a rectangular telephone plug is similar. A widely used 8-pin connector is known in the art as "RJ-45" plug. For example, for Networked personal computers commonly use RJ-45 connectors as a connection to the individual computers used at the network card interface.

Ein RJ-45-Kabel ist üblicherweise mit einem an jedem Ende angebrachten RJ-45 -Stecker erhältlich. Bei einigen Anwendungen ist der genormte RJ-45-Stecker anfällig für Beschädigungen und Ausfälle. Beispielsweise ist er für wiederholtes Ein- und Ausstecken in und aus einer Chassis-Steckerbuchse nicht gut geeignet; die Kontakte werden durch falsches Einsetzen leicht verbogen oder verschoben. Die Kunststoff-Rastklinke (Rastarm) kann ermüden und abbrechen, so dass der Stecker dann nicht mehr fest in der Buchse sitzt. Das Kabel selbst ist durch wiederholtes Knicken an der Stelle, an der das Kabel in die Steckerbuchse eintritt, störungsanfällig. Des weiteren kann das Kabel auch durch Längsbelastung aus dem Stecker gerissen werden. Das Steckergehäuse ist aus Kunststoff geformt und wird leicht deformiert oder zerbrochen, wenn man zum Beispiel versehentlich darauf tritt.An RJ-45 cable is usually with an RJ-45 attached to each end Plug available. In some applications, the standard RJ-45 connector prone to damage and failures. For example, he is for repeated Plugging in and out of a chassis socket not well suited; the contacts will be slightly bent or misplaced by incorrect insertion. The plastic latch (latching arm) can tire and break off, causing the The plug is then no longer firmly seated in the socket. The cable itself is through repeated kinking at the point where the cable into the socket occurs, prone to failure. Furthermore, the cable can also by longitudinal load be torn out of the plug. The connector housing is off Plastic is molded and is easily deformed or broken when you go to Example accidentally occurs.

Erfindungsgemäß gelingt dies durch eine Steckeranordnung mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention has for its object to provide a device for protecting a Cable connector, in particular an RJ-45 cable connector to provide, by which the risk of damage during insertion in a corresponding Socket while inserted in the socket and avoided or reduced when pulling out of the socket can be. According to the invention, this is achieved by means of a plug arrangement the features of claim 1.

Vorteilhafterweise kann das Gehäuse der Steckeranordnung zylindrisch und an beiden Enden offen ausgebildet sein und eine querverlaufende Trennwand mit einer geformten Öffnung für die Aufnahme und Positionierung des Kabelsteckers im Gehäuse aufweisen. Durch das koaxial am Kabel angeordnete, radial zusammenpressbare Spannteil kann der Kabelstecker gegen einen an der Trennwand angeordneten Anschlag angedrückt werden und das Kabel im zusammengepressten Zustand des Spannteils geklemmt werden.Advantageously, the housing of the plug arrangement can be cylindrical and on be formed open at both ends and a transverse partition with a shaped opening for receiving and positioning the cable connector have in the housing. By the coaxially arranged on the cable, radial compressible clamping part, the cable connector against a on the Partition wall stop can be pressed and the cable in the compressed state of the clamping part are clamped.

Die konisch sich verjüngende Tülle, die ebenfalls koaxial am Kabel angeordnet ist, kann auf der Rückseite der Anordnung durch die auf der Tülle sitzende Buchse aus dem Gehäuse hervorragen, wobei die Buchse mittels eines Gewindes mit dem Gehäuse verbunden ist.The conically tapered grommet, which is also coaxially arranged on the cable is, on the back of the arrangement by the person sitting on the spout Jack protrude from the housing, the socket by means of a Thread is connected to the housing.

Wir die Buchse auf dem Gehäuse angezogen, so wird die Tülle in Richtung zum Gehäuse gezogen, wodurch das Spannteil radial gegen das Kabel gepresst wird. Dadurch werden Zugbeanspruchungen des Kabels vom Kabelstecker getrennt und statt dessen auf das Gehäuse übertragen.We tightened the socket on the housing, so the grommet is towards the Pulled housing, whereby the clamping part is pressed radially against the cable. As a result, tensile stresses of the cable are disconnected from the cable connector and instead transferred to the housing.

Eine entsprechende Chassis-Steckerbuchse kann die Steckeranordnung mit dem darin angeordneten Kabelstecker aufnehmen und dabei auf ihrer achsialen Stirnseite eine ringförmige Ausnehmung für die Aufnahme und Positionierung des vorderen Endes des Gehäuses aufweisen. Zur Arretierung des Gehäuses, wenn der elektrische Kontakt zwischen dem Kabelstecker und der Steckerbuchse hergestellt ist, kann eine lösbare Federklinke an der Steckerbuchse vorgesehen sein.A corresponding chassis socket, the connector assembly with the Take in arranged cable connector while doing on their axial End face an annular recess for receiving and positioning the have front end of the housing. To lock the case when the electrical contact between the cable plug and the socket is manufactured, a releasable spring latch can be provided on the socket be.

Der Zylinder und Konus sind axial durch Längsschlitze 24, die über einen Abschnitt der gesamten Länge des Spannteils 18 verlaufen, in Segmente unterteilt, so dass die konischen Abschnitte, wie nachstehend beschrieben, radial zusammengepresst werden können, damit das Spannteil das Kabel 14 klemmen kann. Des weiteren erstreckt sich einer der Schlitze 24 über die volle Länge des Spannteils 18, so dass das Spannteil auseinandergezogen werden kann und, wie in Fig. 3 gezeigt, auf das Kabel aufgeklipst kann.The components and the order of assembling a robust Cable plug assembly 10 are shown in Figs. 3-5. A clamping part 18 is made made of elastic plastic and has a total of substantially cylindrical shape over a first portion 20 on which the cable connector 12th facing front side, and an overall substantially conical shape via a second section 22, on the back of the cable connector abgwandten Page. The cylinder and cone are axially through longitudinal slots 24, which over a Run portion of the entire length of the clamping part 18, divided into segments, such that the conical sections, as described below, are radial can be pressed together so that the clamping part clamp the cable 14 can. Furthermore, one of the slots 24 extends over the full length of the Clamping part 18, so that the clamping part can be pulled apart and how shown in Fig. 3, can be clipped onto the cable.

Eine Tülle 26 weist ebenfalls einen insgesamt im wesentlichen zylindrischen Abschnitt 28 und einen insgesamt im wesentlichen konischen Abschnitt 30 auf. Die Innenfläche des Abschnittes 28 ist axial verjüngt (von vorne nach hinten), um mit dem konischen Abschnitt 22 des Spannteils 18 zusammenzuwirken, wenn das Spannteil, wie nachstehend beschrieben, in die Tülle 26 eingeschoben wird. Wie das Spannteil 18 ist auch die Tülle 26 axial gespalten, so dass sie auf das Kabel 14 aufgeklipst werden kann. Vorzugsweise ist der konische Abschnitt 30 so geformt, dass er beabstandete, ringförmige Schlitze 32 aufweist. Die Tülle 26 weist einen radialen Flansch 31 auf, der sich um ihr vorderes Ende erstreckt.A spout 26 also has an overall generally cylindrical Section 28 and an overall substantially conical section 30 on. The inner surface of the portion 28 is axially tapered (front to back) to to cooperate with the conical portion 22 of the clamping member 18, when the clamping member, as described below, is inserted into the spout 26. Like the clamping part 18 and the spout 26 is axially split, so that they on the Cable 14 can be clipped. Preferably, the conical section 30 is so shaped to have spaced, annular slots 32. The spout 26 has a radial flange 31 which extends around its front end.

Eine Buchse 34 ist im allgemeinen zylindrisch und hat einen Innendurchmesser, der größer als der Außendurchmesser des zylindrischen Tüllenabschnittes 28, jedoch kleiner als der Durchmesser des Flansches 31 ist, so dass die Tülle 26 durch die Buchse 34 geschoben werden kann, aber darin durch den Flansch 31 gehalten wird. Die Buchse 34 kann auf dem Kabel 14 angeordnet werden, indem der Stecker 12 durch die Buchse geschoben wird, bevor die Tülle und das Spannteil auf dem Kabel montiert werden. Die Buchse 34 ist in ihrem der Vorderseite der Steckeranordnung zugwandten Bereich mit einem Innengewinde versehen (in Fig. 3 nicht gezeigt). A sleeve 34 is generally cylindrical and has an inner diameter, larger than the outer diameter of the cylindrical spout portion 28, however, smaller than the diameter of the flange 31, so that the spout 26th can be pushed through the sleeve 34, but therein by the flange 31st is held. The sleeve 34 can be placed on the cable 14 by the plug 12 is pushed through the socket before the spout and the Clamping part to be mounted on the cable.
