Patent number: 7811093Abstract: A telecommunications connectivity system including a patch panel comprising a plurality of ports, each port including first and second electrical terminals, the first electrical terminal enabling at least one data communications standard not enabled by the second electrical terminal. The telecommunications connectivity system also includes a terminal selection system including a terminal selector that houses an electrical connector. The terminal selector may be installed in one of the ports such that the electrical connector connects to either the first or second electrical terminal, as preselected. The telecommunications connectivity system also includes a wall receptacle system electrically connected to each of the ports, the wall receptacle system including first and second jacks, the first jack enabling at least one data communications standard not enabled by the second jack.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2010Date of Patent: October 12, 2010Assignee: Optical Cable CorporationInventors: Ian J. Timmins, Derrick F. Stikeleather, William B. Everette, Sterling Vaden, Sumio Seo, Lyudmila Z. Burtseva, James Yanik
