A data transmission connector (103) has a housing (30) and a plurality of data transfer plug contacts (32) that are rigid and are arranged fixedly inside the connector (103).

A quick release device for releasing an electrical modular connector of a network cable from an electrical jack comprises a connector boot attached to the network cable and assembled with the electrical modular connector; a passage formed on the connector boot; a slide insert having a first end and a second end opposed to the first end, wherein the slide insert is positioned through the passage, wherein the first end faces the electrical jack; and a rotatable hook having a free end and a pivot end configured to pivot on the first end of the slide insert along a longitudinal direction of the slide insert, wherein the free end of the rotatable hook engages with a clip and causes the clip to move relatively downwardly to release the electrical modular connector from the electrical jack when the slide insert moves away from the electrical jack.

A surface mount electrical connector and methods of making and using a surface mount electrical connector. The connector includes a housing and a contact subassembly received in the housing. The contact subassembly includes interface contacts, board termination contacts, and an internal circuit board. The interface contacts and the board termination contacts are mounted to the internal circuit board to electrically connect the interface contacts and the board termination contacts through the internal circuit board. Each of surface mount tail ends of the board termination contacts has a bent portion that defines a mounting surface configured to be surface mounted to a mounting face of a main circuit board, to establish an electrical connection between the board termination contacts and the main circuit board.

A connector for a networking cable assembly includes a substrate, a first set of contacts on a first surface of the substrate that electrically connect to leads of a first cable, and a second set of contacts on the first surface of the substrate that electrically connect to leads of a second cable. The first set of contacts are spaced apart from the second set of contacts in a first direction by an amount that enables the second cable to be stacked on the first cable and passed over the first set of contacts to electrically connect to the leads of the second cable.
