ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector for use as a network terminating apparatus is provided including a front or cover plate assembly, an intermediate unit which in use is disposed behind the cover assembly and a backing unit. The intermediate unit carries diagnostic circuitry, an assembly of connecting devices, and one or more contact assemblies, and one or more sets of generally identical contact elements, which extend between and interconnect the elements carried by the intermediate unit. The connecting device may comprise a multi-way connector. Each contact may include an elongate strip-like, electrically conductive portion from which project, generally orthogonally, a plurality of contact arms, each the arm being disposed at a predetermined position so that it can make electrical contact with one of the elements carried by the intermediate unit. One of the contact arms may include an insulation displacement type contact.
