Abstract
A connecting block for a digital cross connect system has printed wiring circuit boards to interconnect terminals on the rear surface with jacks and terminals on the front surface. The terminals on the front surface are multipled to jack appearances also on the front surface of the connecting block. The connecting block has a pedestal which sits on a lower crossarm of a frame. The upper surface of the connecting block has a resilient tang which snaps into an upper crossarm of the frame. The tang is depressed with a screw driver or the like to disengage it from the upper crossarm. The connecting block is suspended by the anterior section of the pedestal from a panel located in front of the lower crossarm to expose the terminals on the rear surface. Conductors in cables to and from digital systems are then terminated on the rear terminals.
