A connector module permits termination of cross-connect wires on one surface (front) and cable wires on an opposite surface (rear). The module exhibits a configuration, which permits test access and protector (i.e., protection module) mounting from the front surface. The jumper wires are inserted from a side surface through wire guides or channels that bring the wires from the side surface to the front surface where the wires can be terminated without impeding insertion and removal of protection modules from the front of the connector module. There is an intermediate surface below the front surface that is accessible from the front and recessed to allow protection modules to be installed completely below the terminated wires, allowing termination and maintenance of jumper wires after the protection module is installed from the front.

Connector module

A male base subscriber pair protector module in which substantially all of the internal components thereof are assembled upon an axially elongated base element prior to insertion within a module housing, thereby facilitating manufacture and allowing the use of a wide variety of existing components which are readily adapted for such assembly.

Male base subscriber circuit protector module

A three element gas tube type subscriber pair protector module in which the gas tube serves as both a momentary surge protector and a heat responsive means directly operable upon a pair of fusable elements. The number of component parts has been minimized, permitting low manufacturing cost and simplified assembly.
