A connector is provided with a first housing, a second housing to be stacked on and coupled to the first housing and a mating housing to be connected to the first housing and the second housing. The mating housing includes a projecting portion to be arranged between first and second facing surfaces of the first housing and the second housing and capable of contacting the respective facing surfaces of the first housing and the second housing.

A connector arrangement includes a plug nose body; a printed circuit board positioned within a cavity of the plug nose body; and a plug cover that mounts to the plug nose body to enclose the printed circuit board within the cavity. The printed circuit board includes a storage device configured to store information pertaining to the electrical segment of communications media. The plug cover defines a plurality of slotted openings through which the second contacts are exposed. A connector assembly includes a jack module and a media reading interface configured to receive the plug. A patch panel includes multiple jack modules and multiple media reading interfaces.

A cable connector includes a case, a fastener and an unlocking member. At least one side of the case has a texture area with a guide surface which is a smooth surface. The fastener is attached on the case and extended with a flexible arm. Part of the flexible arm is attached to the guide surface. The unlocking member includes a handle and a pushing block connected to the handle. The pushing block is sandwiched between the case and the flexible arm. When the unlocking member is pulled, the pushing block moves along the guide surface to separate the flexible arm from the case. When the unlocking member is released, the pushing block is pressed by the flexible arm to slide and return along the guide surface. The pushing block may return to original position without elasticity of a spring to simplify the structure and save the costs.

Proposed is a connector for high-speed signal transmission with a rigid alignment function. The connector allows rigid alignment between pin arrays as a part of the connector moves slightly in the left-right or front-rear direction depending on the degree of engagement between corresponding pins when coupled to a counterpart connector.

A modular electrical outlet assembly includes an enclosure that can be installed in a wall of a room. The enclosure has a plurality of wiring terminals that can each be electrically coupled to electrical wiring in the room. The enclosure has a plurality of output sockets each being integrated therein. Each of the output sockets is in electrical communication with a respective one of the wiring terminals to receive electrical current from the electrical wiring. A module is insertable into the enclosure and the module has a plurality of input terminals that is each integrated therein. Each of the input terminals electrically engages a respective one of the output sockets in the enclosure when the module is inserted into the enclosure to receive electrical current from the electrical wiring in the wall.
