System for providing telephony and data services

摘要

A system to provide telephony and data services includes a termination unit having a connector portion to a corresponding termination unit to modem connector containing at least three conductors. The termination unit provides a good electrical connection between two conductors that carry data signals between the access network and a user modem, and insulates the other conductor or conductors from the incoming pair of conductors. A user modem connects to the termination unit to modem connector and is operable to transmit data signals onto and to receive data signals from the data carrying conductors as well as telephony signals onto and from a pair of modem-side telephony signal carrying conductors. A cross-connection unit has a connection portion that connects with a telephone connector.

1. A system for providing telephony and data services to a user's premises, the system comprising:
a termination unit for terminating an incoming pair of conductors from a telecommunications access network within the user's premises, the termination unit having a connector portion operable to connect with a corresponding termination unit to modem connector containing at least three conductors able to carry electrical signals, the termination unit being arranged to provide a good electrical connection between two of the conductors within the termination unit to modem connector, which conductors, when in use, carry data signals between the access network and the user modem and are hereinafter referred to as the two data carrying conductors, and the incoming pair of conductors from the access network respectively, wherein the termination unit is operable to provide an insulation of the other conductor or conductors within the connector from the incoming pair of conductors from the access network; a user modem which is connectable to the termination unit to modem connector and is operable to transmit data signals onto and to receive data signals from the data carrying conductors and is further operable to transmit telephony signals onto and to receive telephony signals from a pair of modem-side telephony signal carrying conductors which includes the other conductor or at least one of the other conductors within the termination unit to modem connector; and a cross-connection unit having a connection portion which is operable to connect with a telephone connector, which telephone connector includes at least two telephone-side telephony signal carrying conductors operable to carry telephony signals to and from a telephone apparatus, the cross connection unit further including a cross-connection which electrically connects the two telephone-side telephony signal carrying conductors to the two modem-side telephony signal carrying conductors respectively when in use.
