ABSTRACT:
An improved current mode coupler comprising a base (100), a housing (300) mountable to a panel. The coupler base (100) includes a pair of wire retainers (200) for securing the wires (230,231) of a twisted pair cable within wire receiving channels (204,205) of a wire nest (202) of the coupler base (100). Each wire retainer (200) has an arm (232), a strut (236) extending from one end thereof to a cylindrical hinge (234) disposed in a pivot region of the coupler base (100), a vertical section (240) proximate the other end including a latch (242), and a wedge (244) on the lower surface of the arm (232). Upon rotation of the wire retainer about hinge (234) to a closed position, wedge (244) is engageable with a lower one of the conductors (230) to urge it fully into a deeper one of the channels (204 ) adjacent a channel intersection proximate a conductor crossover.
