ABSTRACT:
An interconnection module for providing connections between a plurality of incoming conductors and a field connector has a termination block which is repositionable between storage and installation positions. The module includes a housing having a base and a cover removably attached to the base, the housing retaining a receptacle, such as a telephone jack, and a plurality of jumper wires connected between the termination block and the receptacle. The termination block, wires and receptacle collectively comprise a preterminated connector assembly which is completely removable from the housing. The termination block is generally planar, affording a low-profile module when placed in the storage position, parallel to the bottom of the housing. In the installation position, the termination block is rotated perpendicular to the bottom of the housing, making the capped upper edge of the termination block more accessable for installation of the incoming conductors. The base is designed to support and stabilize the termination block in the installation position.
