ABSTRACT:
A telecommunications network (10) includes a main distribution frame (12) that receives telecommunications traffic carried over individual tip and ring signal line pairs (20) from trunks (18). The main distribution frame (12) provides the individual tip and ring signal line pairs (20) to a protector block (14). The protector block (14) includes a connector (22) for each individual tip and ring signal line pair (20). The connector (22) has a first terminal (24) that provides external access to low frequency voice band telecommunications traffic for POTS providers. The connector (22) has a second terminal (26) that provides external access to high frequency telecommunications traffic, such as ADSL for ADSL providers. The external access capability allows for the unbundling of physical connections at the main distribution frame (12) in order to provide competitive access to subscribers.
