ABSTRACT:
A telephone network interface apparatus comprising a cabinet housing a chassis having a planar surface with openings to receive one or more modular terminal panels. The cabinet includes a splicing chamber at one side to receive incoming telephone company cables for connection to the module panel terminals therein. The module terminal panels comprise self-supporting panels carrying protector and electronics fields formed by plug-in type blocks for receiving protector plugs and electronics plugs respectively. A housing encloses the protector and electronics fields and is provided with a lockable door to form a telephone company compartment. Also mounted on the panel is a network interconnection device (NID). The NID is removably attached to the panel by a bracket and mating type connector. The NID includes plug-in jack connections such as RJ11s. The protector and electronics plug-in sockets are wired in series with the NID RJ11 connectors. The capacity of the building entrance terminal may be increased by adding modular panels as the need arises. The cabinets may be utilized either indoors or outdoors and may be wall or pedestal mounted. The modular construction provides for economical and quick replaceability of components.
