A telecommunication panel may comprise a chassis configured to receive insertable Digital Signal Cross-connect (DSX) modules and a backplane connected to the chassis. The DSX module is compact to fit into the telecommunication panel. A ratio of the number of the insertable 6-port DSX modules over the backplane surface area at least about 0.37 modules per square inch is achieved. The DSX module may include a printed circuit board and a light emitting diode (LED) light pipe on the printed circuit board to minimize the width of the DSX module. The DSX module may be inserted into the telecommunication panel horizontally or vertically so that the telecommunication panel receives a maximum number of DSX modules.

High density digital signal cross-connect system

A modular telecommunications device that may be configured with a variety of connector types that enable any telecommunications equipment to route signals through the telecommunications device. The device includes a quad jack frame, a main printed circuit board and an interchangeable back plate that can be replaced by another interchangeable back plate that includes a different connector type. A secondary printed circuit board is included in the interchangeable back plate. The incoming power to the device is provided to the main printed circuit that distributes power throughout the device.

Modular digital signal cross-connect system

A DSX jack LED activation system including a resilient dielectric structure secured within the jack body and positioned between the at least one electrical lead of the LED and one of the at least one ring spring contact and the at least one tip spring contact, an LED contact terminal secured within the jack body between the at least one electrical lead of the LED and the resilient dielectric structure, and such that when the jack plug is inserted into the plug aperture, the jack plug deflects one of the at least one ring spring contact and the at least one tip spring contact, into the resilient dielectric structure, which deflects the LED contact terminal into the at least one electrical lead of the LED. A DSX grounding system which includes a first ground terminal contact disposed between the first plug aperture and the second plug aperture, the first ground terminal contact with a first end and a second end, the second end being positioned at the rear end of the jack, the first end of the first ground terminal contact being disposed to make electrical contact with, and provide grounding for, the jack plugs inserted into the first plug aperture, and the first end of the first ground terminal contact also being disposed to make electrical contact with, and provide grounding for, the jack plugs inserted into the second plug aperture.
