Abstract
A Central Processing Unit (CPU) may be conveniently and selectively connected to a plurality of Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) terminals through the use of a connection station provided with adapter jacks for interconnecting the CPU and CRT operating cables. The connection station includes an insulated panel in which the adapters are positioned and an enclosure in which the insulated panel may be retained. The insulated adapter panel is preferably made out of a three layer phenolic board so that appropriate identification can be conventionally engraved on the board, and the insulated construction of the board prevents electrical interference between separately connected cables. The connection station permits remote connection of CRT terminals to the CPU without the necessity of running long cables back to the CPU which might be located at a considerable distance from the terminals.
