    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).
