Cross connect distribution system and apparatus

摘要

A telecommunications distributing system for use in a building requiring a large number of telephone circuits is disclosed. The assembly employs multi-conductor connectors having two rows of terminals attached to the ends of incoming and outgoing telephone cables. A jumper connector assembly for interconnecting corresponding incoming and outgoing wire pairs is also employed. In one embodiment, the jumper connector establishes an edge contact with the terminals in the multi-conductor connector to minimize the width of the jumper connector.
