Jack cluster with offset mounting posts.

摘要

A patch panel assembly (10) includes a patch panel (12) to which plural elongate jack clusters (22) are mounted. The jack clusters are supported by the panel (12) within openings therein. Each jack cluster has a front face (24) adjacent a front surface of the panel and an opposed rear face (26) adjacent a rear surface of the panel. Each jack cluster includes openings (28) therein for receipt of plug type connectors from the front face thereof. In addition, each jack cluster (22) includes a pair of mounting elements (34) extending from the rear face (26) thereof at opposed ends thereof. The pair of mounting elements (34) are mutually transversely offset with respect to one another. The mounting elements (34) support an elongate mass termination connector (52) at an angularly offset relation with respect to the jack cluster (22).
