Abstract

A back-end variation control cap (140) configured for use with a jack module (100) including a plurality of insulation displacement connectors (138), the cap being configured for routing a plurality of twisted conductor pairs (124). The cap includes an upper portion (142), a bottom portion (150), a plurality of twisted pair channels (142) extending between the upper portion and the bottom portion, and a pair of opposed end walls (152), each of the end walls including a plurality of wire constraints (152) disposed thereon. Each wire constraint has opposed surfaces (158) configured to retain one of the conductors (126) and each twisted conductor pair extends through one of the twisted pair channels and the conductors of the twisted conductor pairs are disposed in the plurality of wire constraints such that each conductor is aligned with one of the insulation displacement connectors when the bottom portion is disposed adjacent the jack module.

Claims

AMENDED CLAIMS [received by the International Bureau on 24 March 2005 (24.03.2005); original claims 1-19 replaced by amended claims 1-16 (7 pages)]
I .

20
2. The cap of claim t, wherein each of the opposed end walls further includes a bottom edge, each of the wire constraints is disposed along one of the bottom edges, and wherein each twisted pair splitter is further disposed between the twisted pair channel and the nearest of the opposed sidewalls.
3. The cap of claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of punch-down walls, wherein each of the punch-down walls includes a proximal end adjacent one of the twisted pair channels and a distal end adjacent one of the wire constraints, and each of the punch-down walls is configured to urge an associated wire conductor into electrical contact with an associated insulation displacement connector
4. The cap of claim 3, further comprising a twisted pair splitter disposed adjacent each of the twisted pair channels and extending downwardly from the bottom portion, each twisted pair splitter being configured to facilitate separating the conductors of the twisted conductor pairs, wherein the plurality of punch-down walls further comprises a pair of punch-down walls extending from each of the twisted pair channels, the punch-down walls of each pair being disposed on opposing sides of an associated splitter.
5. The cap of claim I , further comprising a pair of punch-down walls extending longitudinally from each of the twisted pair channels toward a pair of the wire constraints, wherein each punch-down wall includes a bottom ledge configured to urge one of the conductors into one of the insulation displacement connectors.
6. The cap of claim 7, wherein the punch-down walls of each pair are disposed on opposing sides of an associated twisted pair splitter, and the lower most portion of the twisted pair splitter is substantially knife-like.
7.
