The invention relates to an electrical connector assembly, comprising an electrical connector and a cable connected to the electrical connector, which each have at least one conductor pair for transferring a differential signal, wherein the cable has a first section and the electrical connector has a second section, in which second section the conductor pair has plug contacts, and wherein the conductors have a first mutual distance (X) in the first section and a second mutual distance (Y) in the second section, which second mutual distance is greater than the first distance, wherein an intermediate section, in which the distance of the conductors of a conductor pair increases toward a plugging end of the electrical connector, is formed between the first section and the second section, wherein the conductor pair is surrounded by a conductor pair shield in the first section and/or in the second section, which conductor pair shield shields the conductor pair from external electromagnetic influences, and wherein the conductors are surrounded by a conductor shield in at least part of the intermediate section, which conductor shield shields the conductors from external electromagnetic influences and from electromagnetic influences of the other conductor. The invention further relates to a method for signal transfer.

Described herein are quick-connect twisted pair cables, cable systems and methods of installing/connecting them. For example, a quick-connect twisted pair cable may include a plurality of pairs of insulated wires within an outer insulating cover; within the insulating cover each of the plurality of pairs of insulated wires are wrapped around each other within elongate tubular body regions, and unwrapped (e.g., parallel) in flattened regions between the elongate tubular body regions. A quick plug connector may be configured as a standard (e.g., RJ-45) connector type.

A family of connectors to accommodate a single twisted pair of conductors is disclosed herein. The family of connectors includes a free connector, a fixed connector, and an adapter; the free and/or fixed connectors can be modified to accommodate various patch cord and mounting configurations. In certain embodiments, the one or more of the family of connectors adopts an RJ 45 style connector or RJ 45 style jack/receptacle configuration in a reduced footprint, e.g. one-half, one-third or one-quarter the size of a standard RJ 45 connector or jack/receptacle.

Assembly comprising a cable having at least two signal wires, and a connector connected to the shielded cable, wherein the connector comprises at least two elongated inner signal contacts each connected to a wire of the cable, wherein the connector comprises a shielding portion formed of an inner shield and an outer shield, and wherein the inner shield at least approximately completely surrounds the wires of the cable and the outer shield at least partially surrounds the inner shield.
