A communication system includes a wiring closet having a data hub and a telephone switching device. Each of a plurality of workstations includes a telephone and/or a computer. A single cable assembly interconnects the wiring closet and the workstations. The cable assembly includes a plurality of connector assemblies, with each connector assembly being associated with a respective workstation. Each connector assembly has at least one breakout connector connected to a telephone or a computer of the respective workstation. Each of a plurality of cables has a plurality of electrical conductors. A first of the cables interconnects the wiring closet and a first of the connector assemblies. Other cables connect the first connector assembly and other connector assemblies in series.

Direct to closet wiring system

A communication cable connector assembly includes a first connector, a second connector and a first breakout connector. The first connector has a plurality of first terminals. The second connector has a plurality of second terminals with a plurality of adjacent pairs of terminals. Each of the plurality of second terminals mate with a corresponding one of the plurality of first terminals. A plurality of the adjacent pairs of terminals define breakout terminal pairs which are non-adjacent relative to each other. A first breakout connector associated with the second connector has a plurality of third terminals associated with the breakout terminal pairs of the second connector.

Communication system and communication cable connector assembly

A wire terminator assembly is for connecting a plurality of wires to an electrical connector having a plurality of terminals. The wire terminator assembly includes two terminator blades slidably retained within a base unit. Each terminator blade is configured for connecting a respective one of the wires to a respective one of the terminals of the electrical connector. A drive unit is configured for simultaneously sliding each of the terminator blades within the base unit to thereby connect the wires to the electrical connector.

Simultaneous wire pair terminator

A communication cable connector assembly includes a first connector, a second connector, a first breakout connector and a second breakout connector. The first connector has a plurality of first terminals. The second connector has a plurality of second terminals with a plurality of pairs of adjacent terminals. Each of the plurality of second terminals mate with a corresponding one of the plurality of first terminals. A first subset of the pairs of adjacent terminals define first breakout terminal pairs which are non-adjacent relative to each other. A second subset of the pairs of adjacent terminals define second breakout terminal pairs which are non-adjacent relative to each other. A first breakout connector associated with the second connector has a plurality of third terminals connected with the first breakout terminal pairs of the second connector. A second breakout connector associated with the second connector has a plurality of fourth terminals connected with the second breakout terminal pairs of the second connector.

A communication cable connector assembly includes a first connector, a second connector and a plurality of breakout connectors. The first connector has a plurality of first terminals. The second connector has a plurality of second terminals with a plurality of subsets of terminals. Each of the plurality of second terminals mate with a corresponding one of the plurality of first terminals. Each subset of terminals includes a plurality of pairs of adjacent terminals. Each pair of adjacent terminals defines a breakout terminal pair. The breakout terminal pairs within a same subset of terminals are non-adjacent relative to each other. Each of a plurality of breakout connectors is associated with a respective subset of terminals. Each breakout connector has a plurality of third terminals connected with the breakout terminal pairs of the respective subset of terminals.
