Connector, Cabling And Signaling For Communication Protocols
A connector includes a connector interface. A cable housing covers the connector interface and a cable connects with the connector interface. A passive component is positioned within the cable housing, the passive component being connected with the connector interface and the cable.
1 . A connector, comprising:
a connector interface;
a cable housing covering the connector interface and a cable connected with the connector interface; and
a passive component positioned within the cable housing, the passive component connected with the connector interface and the cable.
2 . The connector of claim 1 where the cable includes a twisted pair cable, where the twisted pair cable comprises four pairs of twisted pair cable for signaling, two pair for transmitting signals and two pair for receiving signals.
3 . The connector of claim 1 where the passive components comprises an autotransformer.
4 . The connector of claim 3 where the passive components further comprises an AC coupler.
5 . The connector of claim 3 where the passive components further comprises a transformer.
6 . The connector of claim 1 where the connector interface provides for at least two of HDMI, USB, Ethernet and display interface protocols.
7 . The connector of claim 1 where the connector interface is sized to fit low profile user equipment for providing Ethernet to the user equipment.
8 . The connector of claim 1 further including a PHY positioned within the cable housing.
9 . The connector of claim 8 where the PHY performs auto-negotiation to discover and configure the connection.
10 . An Ethernet connector, comprising:
a connector interface; and
four cables connected to the connector interface, two cables for transmitting signals and two cables for receiving signals.
11 . The Ethernet connector of claim 10 further comprising a cable housing covering the connector interface and the four cables and passive components positioned within the cable housing, the passive components connected with the four cables.
12 . The Ethernet connector of claim 11 where the connector interface provides for at least two of HDMI, USB, Ethernet and display interface protocols.
13 . The Ethernet connector of claim 11 where the passive components comprises an AC coupler.
14 . The Ethernet connector of claim 11 where the passive components comprises a transformer.
15 . The connector of claim 11 further including a PHY positioned within the cable housing.
16 . The connector of claim 11 where the PHY performs auto-negotiation to discover and configure the connection.
17 . A cabling, comprising:
a cable including at least one of a twisted pair, co-ax, or fiber optic;
a connector interface connected to one end of the cable, the connector interface sized to fit a mobile phone for providing at least one of HDMI, USB, Ethernet and display interface to the mobile phone; and
an HDMI, USB, RJ45 or DiplayPort connector connected to a second end of the cable.
18 . The cabling of claim 17 further comprising a cable housing covering the connector interface and the cable, a passive component positioned within the cable housing, the passive component connected with the connector interface and the cable.
19 . The cabling of claim 18 where the connector interface provides for at least two of HDMI, USB, Ethernet and display interface protocols.
20 . The cabling of claim 18 where connector interface includes a simplex link but bandwidth is dynamically allocated in two directions.
