An overvoltage protection plug is disclosed. The plug includes a housing forming a body, a handle, and an insertion portion. The plug further includes a circuit board mounted at least partially within the body. A portion of the circuit board protrudes from the housing at the insertion portion and includes metallic connection pads configured for interconnection to a connection block. The plug also includes a gas tube mounted to the circuit board and residing within the housing, the gas tube electrically connected to the metallic connection pads by a plurality of circuit traces on the circuit board. The handle of the housing can extend rearward from a top edge of the housing. The body can include an interior cavity having generally parallel side walls including a thinned region surrounding the gas tube. A circuit connection block assembly is also disclosed.

Overvoltage protection plug

A DSX system having a plurality of jacks mounted in a chassis, the jacks including IN and OUT ports accessible from the front of the chassis and tip and ring springs corresponding to each of the IN and OUT ports. The chassis also includes IN and OUT co-axial cable connectors electrically connected to the tip and ring springs of the jacks, and MONITOR co-axial cable connectors for use in monitoring signals transmitted through the IN and OUT connectors.

DSX module with performance monitoring

The present disclosure relates to a connector having a main body portion and a housing portion. The housing mounts over the connector main body. The housing is adapted for securing the connector to another element such as a piece of telecommunications equipment.

High density mount for a co-axial connector

A coaxial module includes a conductive housing, front and rear coaxial connectors, and circuitry disposed within the housing including a removable surge protector device. The circuitry within the housing includes a circuit board, including a cutout. Disposed within the cutout is the surge protector device. The surge protector device includes pins for mounting to an edge mount of the circuit board, and the housing includes a removable cover to allow access to the cutout and the surge protector device.

Coaxial module with surge protector

A cross-connect module is disclosed herein. The cross-connect module includes a housing having a front end and a rear end. The rear end includes a printed circuit board mounted to the module. First and second switching jacks positioned adjacent the front end of the housing. A DIN type rear connector is mechanically mounted to the printed circuit board. The switching jacks are routed to the DIN type rear connector via coaxial cables that are terminated to the connector. The printed circuit board is used to route a tracer lamp circuit of the module to power and ground through the DIN type rear connector.

Digital switching cross-connect module

A performance monitoring access device for a DSX system is disclosed herein. The monitoring device provides connection locations for readily connecting digital equipment to performance monitoring equipment. The monitoring devices allows for dual performance monitoring of digital equipment.

Device for providing dual monitoring of digital equipment

A DSX system arranged to receive a plurality of high-density chassis is disclosed. The chassis include back planes having rear access IN/OUT fields and rear access cross-connect fields. The rear access fields are electrically connected to termination panels located in respective IN/OUT regions and cross-connect regions. Each of the regions includes cable management channels within which system cables are routed.

High density DSX system

A patching system is disclosed herein. The patching system includes a plurality of front-loaded patching modules positionable within a chassis. Each of the patching modules includes first and second longframe jack assemblies and a switch for changing the circuit configurations of the patching module. The patching modules and the chassis provide increased patching density.

High density patching system with longframe jacks

A DSX system arranged to receive a plurality of high-density chassis is disclosed. The chassis include back planes having rear access IN/OUT fields and rear access cross-connect fields. The rear access IN/OUT fields are electrically connected to termination structures and panels located in respective IN/OUT regions and cross-connect regions. The termination structures of the IN/OUT region includes first and second fanning strips located along edges of termination panels. A double-hinged cover provides access to the termination panels. The double-hinged cover can be opened in a clockwise direction and a counter-clockwise direction.

Termination panel with fanning strips and pivotal cover

A DSX system for receiving removable jack inserts is disclosed. The system includes a plurality of chassis rearward facing cross-connect arrays and rearward facing IN/OUT arrays. A first circuit board section and a second circuit board section are electrically connected to the arrays. The first circuit board section is positioned behind the removable jack inserts. The second circuit board section is positioned behind the first circuit board section and in front of the cross-connect array and the IN/OUT array.
