  • Patent number: 6539088
    Abstract: A connector for use in a business telephone system such as a PBX, Key, or other type of system with audio on hold capabilities. The connector eliminates the need for time consuming stripping, splicing, and manual connecting operations typically done by the installation technicians. The connector, thereby, decreases the time necessary to install a business phone system with audio on hold capabilities, and eliminates the hazard of accidental shorting which can cause unwanted down time for the system. The connector directly connects the output from an audio source to the designated location on a telecommunications connecting block and therefore to the KSU of the telephone system, thus allowing a caller on hold to listen to, e.g., music, an advertisement, or the radio.
