ABSTRACT:
An electrical connection system, for example a dropside patch panel, comprises a mounting rail (12) which receives first connectors (14) arranged with their contacts facing away from the rail (12). Cable introduced between the rail and the connectors is separated into individual conductors which are terminated at contacts (34, 36) via slots (30) in the rail walls. A second connector (16) carries standard data or voice sockets communications (19) which are connected to the first connector via edge contact carrying PCBs (38) which engage in slots (40) in the first connectors. The PCB edge connectors have a discontinuity on one surface, and one half of the contact is connected to the contact on the other side of the PCB to provide a jumpered interconnection between upper (34) and lower (36) rows of contacts of the first connectors in a first position of the second connectors, and contact between the upper rows of contacts and the standard sockets (19) when the second connectors are moved further into the slots (40) to occupy a second position. The slots (40) are formed to receive the PCBs (38) from either end.
