A module for a modular termination interchange system has a one-piece panel supporting an array of contacts. Patch cord connectors engage selected ones of these contacts from the front side of the panel as a means of selectively programming line selection and/or function. A plurality of projections extend from the rear of the panel to support electrical connector units each having a plurality of contacts which are electrically connected to the contacts supported by the panel, the contacts of a connector unit connected to respective contacts of at least one row of panel-mounted contacts so as to associate that row or rows with a particular electrical connector unit. Complementary mating connector units are interengageable with the connector units supported by the panel projections and extend the electrical connections, via respective cables, to telephones at the distal ends of the cables. The interchangeability of the electrical connectors permits complete freedom in associating telephones with telephone lines and signaling and switching functions without relocating a telephone instrument.
