Abstract: Shielded modular plug (15) for category 5 applications comprises a plug housing (13) and a wire holder (10). The wire holder comprises a housing (20) with wire receiving cavities (22) extending therethrough, and a base wall extension (35) extending from the housing to a front end (36). The wire holder is assembled to the cable by inserting straightened wire ends into the cavities (22) of the holder and pulling the holder tightly against the twisted pairs of the cable. The wire ends (6) can then be trimmed with the front end (36) acting as the reference. The wire holder and cable ends are then inserted into the cavity (48) of the plug housing until a fully inserted position where the plug contacts (18) are positioned above the wire ends (6), and can be depressed for piercing through the insulation to contact the inner conductors. Due to tightening of the wire holder against the twisted pairs, the length of straightened cable is as short as possible thereby reducing crosstalk interference and enabling higher data transmission speeds. Furthermore, tightening of the wire holder against the twisted pairs ensures that connections are made in a reliable manner with less sensitivity to variations in the assembly procedure.

Abstract: A safety syringe for preventing "needle stick" injury and/or reuse of the syringe. The syringe comprises a body, a plunger mounted within the body, connection means for connecting the plunger to a needle holder adapted in use to carry a needle at the end of an injection stroke of the plunger whereby subsequent retraction of the plunger withdraws the needle into a shielded position within the body. The syringe includes a braking means disposed between the body and the plunger to retard but not stop the withdrawal of the plunger and needle after the injection stroke. The needle holder includes a radially extending flange which engages with a complementary rib or groove on the syringe until the needle holder is engaged by a protuberance on the plunger. Engagement of the protuberance with the needle holder serves to deform the needle holder and to draw the flange radially inwardly out of contact with the complimentary rib or groove on the syringe thereby allowing the needle holder and any needle attached to it to be drawn into the body of the syringe.
