RUGGED REGISTERED JACK CONNECTION
Systems and methods are disclosed that include a first registered jack and a junction coupled to the first registered jack. These systems and methods also include a first source unit connected to the junction and a first layer encasing at least part of the first registered jack, the junction, and the first source unit. In addition, these systems and methods include an o-ring preventing surrounding the first layer and a housing encasing the first layer and the o-ring.
1 . A method, comprising:
creating a connection between two different terminals in a connecter, wherein the first terminal and second terminal are aligned, wherein the first terminal and second terminal are coupled together at a junction, wherein the connection is enclosed in a first layer comprising a sealing material, and wherein the first layer is enclosed in a second layer; and
preventing the exposure of the second terminal to materials in the environment of the first terminal.
2 . The method of claim 1 , the second layer is configured in a jam nut configuration.
3 . The method of claim 1 , the second layer is configured in a in-line configuration.
4 . The method of claim 1 , the second layer is configured in a flange mount configuration.
5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first and second terminals are registered jacks.
6 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the registered jacks are RJ45 jacks.
7 . An apparatus, comprising:
a first registered jack;
a junction coupled to the first registered jack;
a first source unit coupled to the junction;
a first layer encasing at least part of the first registered jack, the junction, and the first source unit; and
an seal surrounding the first layer.
8 . The apparatus of claim 7 , further comprising surrounding the apparatus in a housing configured in a jam nut configuration.
9 . The apparatus of claim 7 , further comprising surrounding the apparatus in a housing configured in an in-line configuration.
10 . The apparatus of claim 7 , further comprising surrounding the apparatus in a housing configured in a flange mount configuration.
11 . The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the first source unit is a second registered jack.
12 . The apparatus of claim 7 , further comprising an o-ring surrounding the housing.
13 . The apparatus of claim 7 , further comprising at least one thread surrounding the apparatus.
14 . The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the registered jack is a universal serial bus port.
15 . A system, comprising:
a first registered jack coupled to a junction, wherein the first registered jack has an area exposed to an environment;
a first source coupled to the junction, wherein the junction is used to couple the first registered jack to the first source;
a first layer encasing at least part of the first registered jack, the junction, and the first source; and
a seal located between the environment and at least some of the first source.
16 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the first register jack is a RJ45 jack.
17 . The system of claim 15 , further comprising a sealing mechanism for the ruggedized housing.
18 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the housing is configured in a jam nut configuration.
19 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the housing is configured in an in-line configuration.
20 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the housing is configured in a flange mount configuration.
