ABSTRACT:
A telecommunication module that has a circuit board disposed therein with a bounding edge. The module includes a jack coupled to the edge of the circuit board for receiving a plug therein with an active state and an inactive state. A switch is mounted on the circuit board and a switch operation shaft is mechanically and electrically coupled to the switch and extending outward therefrom such that the switch operation shaft is adjacent to the jack. When the plug is inserted into the jack, the switch operation shaft is rotated thereby changing states of the switch. An angled ramp is coupled to the switch operation shaft and spaced apart from the switch. The jack further includes an opening disposed therein for receiving the angled ramp therein. Moreover, when the plug is inserted into the jack, the plug contacts the angled ramp within the jack causing the switch operation shaft to rotate, thereby changing states of the switch as the angled ramp is biased from within the jack.
