Abstract:
An apparatus is disclosed for providing access to a plurality of telecommunications lines and for providing continuous monitoring access to the telecommunications signals on the lines. The apparatus includes a frame which carries a plurality of normally closed contacts and monitor ports and corresponding monitor circuits for providing continuous access to the telecommunications lines. The telecommunications lines are terminated on the normally closed contacts. A plurality of modules may be releasably attached to the frame with electrical circuit elements on the modules breaking the normally closed contacts to create a new signal path through the module. The modules need only be attached to the frame when direct access to the signal is desired.
Abstract:
A fail-safe device is provided for use with a thyristor having a main body sandwiched between electrically conductive end plates. The fail-safe device includes a spring body formed of electrically conductive material having contact surfaces bent about a central fold. The thyristor is placed between the contact surfaces with the end plates in electrical opposition to each contact surface. A conductor plate is disposed between one of the end plates and one of the contact surfaces. The conductor plate includes a lead for electrical connection to the circuit to be protected. The spring body includes a lead for electrical connection to an electrical ground. A dielectric spacer is disposed between the conductor plate and the contact surface. The dielectric spacer is selected to deform in response to an elevated temperature generated by the thyristor during an over-voltage condition.
Abstract:
The present invention pertains to a fixture for terminating a miniature coaxial cable with a connector, and a kit for use with the fixture. The coaxial cable includes a center conductor and the connector has a connector center conductor which has a pin-shaped first end and a receiving member for receiving the central conductor of the coaxial cable. The fixture for terminating the coaxial table includes a base and a first beam and a second beam for holding the pin-shaped first end. The fixture also includes a third beam for holding the coaxial cable so that the center conductor of the coaxial cable can be inserted in the receiving member of the connector center conductor. The kit includes a working surface and a tray for holding parts of the connector.

Abstract:
A digital signal cross-connect module has a dielectric faceplate with a plurality of ports. The plurality of ports includes at least two linear arrays of ports each including a monitor jack port and two access ports. The arrays are positioned vertically and parallel to one another. The ports are divided into three transverse fields. All monitor ports are positioned in a first transverse field. The access ports are positioned in second and third transverse fields with the second and third transverse fields vertically offset from each other to increase a horizontal density of ports within the module.
Abstract:
A jack module assembly includes at least two jack modules carried in a dielectric frame. The frame holds the modules in co-planar alignment. The frame has a width approximate to a width of the modules.
