A connector module (4) may be fixed to a patch bay panel (2), or may be engaged with other connector modules to form a patching apparatus. The connector module (4) has a body (14) of insulating material in which jack sockets (6) are defined. Connectors (20) are received within connector channels (18) in the body and selectively interconnect the jack sockets. The body (14) is received within a tubular housing (30) of insulating material which encompasses the jack sockets (6), the connectors (20) and the interconnecting means to protect the module from dust. The housing (30) also carries panel engagement means (104) for clipping the module (4) to a patch bay panel (2). Cooperating engagement means (132, 134) on the top and base surfaces of the housing (30) enable adjacent modules (4) to be engaged.
