<p>APPARATUS FOR INTERCONNECTION OF A MULTI-CHANNEL COMMUNICATION NETWORK The present invention is directed to an apparatus interconnecting a plurality of individual stations, such as telephone stations, to individual channels of a multi-channel communication network. Prior art apparatuses are either relatively complicated, having multiple panels at which manual switching may be necessary, or have required that connectors which are subjected to repeated mating cycles be made up in the field, thereby adversely affecting network reliability. The present invention provides a relatively simple termination module having a plurality of connector members each of which is identifiable with a given station and has a mating portion and a terminal portion. The mating portion of the connector members mate with any one of a plurality of relocatable connectors coupled to and identifiable with a given communication channel. The terminal portion of the connector members terminate the individual information transmission cables routed to the various stations. The connector members are configured and mounted so that their mating and terminal portions are accessible from one side of the module to facilitate field termination of the transmission cables and mating of the relocatable connectors with their respective connector members.</p> |
