Abstract
Cross connect system for communications conductors comprises a cable connector which is mated with a cross connection connector. The cable connector has double ended terminals extending therethrough which have wire receiving portions on one end and receptacle portions on their other end. The conductors of the cables are electrically connected to the wire receiving portions of the terminals and the receptacle portions of the terminals are in alignment with cavities which extend through the cross connection connector. A plurality of connector assemblies are mounted in a panel-like member with the cables connected to the terminals in the cable connectors on one side of the panel. Cross connections between the conductors in the cables are made by means of jumper wires which have plug terminals on their ends. The plug terminals are inserted through the cavities in the cross connection connector and mated with the receptacle portions of the terminals in the cable connectors.
