Abstract: A telephone network interface apparatus comprising a cabinet housing a chassis having a planar surface with openings to receive one or more modular terminal panels. The cabinet includes a splicing chamber at one side to receive incoming telephone company cables for connection to the module panel terminals therein. The module terminal panels comprise self-supporting panels carrying protector and electronics fields formed by plug-in type blocks for receiving protector plugs and electronics plugs respectively. A housing encloses the protector and electronics fields and is provided with a lockable door to form a telephone company compartment. Also mounted on the panel is a network interconnection device (NID). The NID is removably attached to the panel by a bracket and mating type connector. The NID includes plug-in jack connections such as RJ11s. The protector and electronics plug-in sockets are wired in series with the NID RJ11 connectors.
