  • Patent number: 8512067
    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: 20120088414
    Abstract: A termination strip (1) for a telecommunications system comprises two opposed rows of contacts (13) along a first side (9) of the strip and two opposed rows of contacts (13) along an opposed second side (10) of the strip, a mounting mechanism (15) at each end of the strip by which the strip can be removably-mounted on a carrier (3) with the contacts on the first side accessible for connecting wires therewith. The termination strip also comprises wire-guiding elements (24, 29) on the exterior of the strip shaped to permit wires (30) connected to contacts on the first side to be held at one end, at least, of the strip thereby enabling the strip to be removed from the carrier, rotated about a central axis extending between the ends of the strip, and repositioned on the carrier with the contacts on the second side accessible for connecting wires therewith.
