ABSTRACT:
A modular terminal connector system for zone wiring systems. A patch panel, a zone box, and a cubicle are connected to each other with cables. Each cable carries a single data channel comprising voice and data communications signals, and has one end coupled to a male compound connector and another end coupled to a female compound connector. The male compound connector includes three plugs and the female compound connector includes three outlets, where the plugs and the outlets are arranged in the same configuration such that the male compound connector can be plugged into the female compound connector. The zone box houses a number of female compound connectors, while the patch panel includes a number of ganged zone boxes. The cubicle or workstation can include a cable grommet for securing a female compound connector therein.
