Abstract: A telecommunication network cross-connect panel 10 is described having a chassis 14 for receiving insertable modules 12, 212. The chassis 14 has a back wall 24 with a backplane printed circuit board 34. An array of rear coaxial connectors are mounted to the backplane printed circuit board 34 in columns of four connectors 36, 38, 40 and 42 for terminating and cross-connecting two pieces of telecommunication equipment per column. Female DIN connector receptacles 44 are mounted on the front side of the board 34 at spaced slot locations with each receptacle 44 electrically connected to a corresponding four backplane connectors of a corresponding column. A plurality of modules 12 are insertable into the slots for interconnecting male DIN connector plugs 58 into corresponding aligned DIN connector receptacles 44. A plug 58 is mounted on a rear end of a module printed circuit board 50.

Abstract: A synthetic wood-sign substitute capable of being sandblasted and fabricated with less labor involvement incorporating a substrate composed of a plurality of overlying foam laminations of a first density spaced apart one from another by a plurality of separators of greater density, with the separators being of a narrower width then the overlying foam laminations, with the foam laminations being colored throughout, and with the substrate forming a panel for a sign.
