  • Publication number: 20120077363
    Abstract: A termination strip (1) for a telecommunications module comprising at least one pair of contact elements (50) arranged side-by-side, each terminating in contacts (13) on opposed longitudinal sides (9, 10) of the strip for connection to a wire pair of a telecommunications cable. Each contact element comprises: (i) two end regions (52) that terminate in contacts on respective longitudinal sides of the termination strip and are substantially aligned with one another along the longitudinal axis of the contact element, and (ii) a narrower central region (51) between the end regions, located substantially on one side of the longitudinal axis. One of the end regions comprises a resilient contact region (53) extending from the end region substantially on the other side of the longitudinal axis and engageable by an external component inserted into the termination strip from one of the opposed longitudinal sides.

  • Publication number: 20100061523
    Abstract: A switch module (10) in a distribution point, such as an MDF or a remote cabinet, in the field of telecommunications, has a plurality of paired contacts and a remotely controllable switch. At least one pair of in contacts (14) may be adapted to transmit an incoming signal. At least one first pair of service contacts (16.1) may be adapted to transmit a POTS, DSL or combined signal, and at least one further pair of service contacts (16.2, 16.3, 16.4) may be adapted to transmit a POTS, DSL, test, monitoring or combined signal. The number of pairs of in contacts (14) is less than the number of pairs of service contacts (16.1 to 16.4). The remotely controllable switch (12) may be adapted to selectively connect the contacts (14) with the service contacts (16.1, 16.2, 16.3, 16.4).
