ABSTRACT:
A cross-connector capable of connecting communication lines between a variety of communication devices comprises in one embodiment a first housing having eight primary leads, a second housing having eight secondary leads, a plurality of conductive paths within the first and second housings that connect at least one primary lead to at least one secondary lead, and an actuator for releasably securing the cross-connector to a communication device. A communication network that incorporates the cross-connector comprises in one embodiment a first communication device, a second communication device, a cross-connector that connects the first and second communication devices, a first network cable that connects the first communication device to the cross-connector, and optionally, a second network cable that connects the second communication device to the cross-connector.
