ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a cross connect wiring block also known as a 110 connector system. This type of wiring block typically includes slotted beam contacts to electrically interconnect a set of first conductors to an associated set of second conductors. The wiring block essentially comprises an elongated housing containing plural cavities defined by opposing walls, where each cavity receives a slotted beam contact longitudinally positioned within the cavity. The improved features of this wiring block are the provision that each first conductor consists of a metal core and an outer layer of insulation, where the diameter of the conductor is a predetermined diameter, and that opposing walls of the cavities include plural pairs of longitudinally directed projections, where the distance between the projections of a given pair is less than the predetermined diameter. This ensures greater wire retention of the conductor. Further, the projections are so designed and arranged as to be compatible with conventional hand termination tools.
