ABSTRACT:
A connector socket may receive either a plain old telephone service (POTS) connector plug or an Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) Basic Rate connector plug. The connector socket comprises a body having a plug-receiving chamber for receiving either a POTS or an ISDN connector plug. The chamber has eight contact terminals are disposed along a top side for providing connectivity to the corresponding eight contact terminals of the ISDN connector plug when inserted within the chamber. Likewise, six contact terminals are disposed along a bottom side of the chamber for providing connectivity to the corresponding two, four or six contact terminals of the POTS connector plug when inserted within the chamber. The chamber further has a POTS plug guide for guiding and locking the POTS plug in the chamber and an ISDN plug guide for guiding and locking the ISDN plug in the chamber. The POTS plug guide is sufficiently laterally offset from the ISDN plug guide so that each plug may be independently inserted and locked in the chamber without the need for spacer plates.
