Abstract
A connector for mounting on a vertical main frame has an elongate body portion containing a protector field and an elongate jumper field extending along one side. The connector is mounted on the frame member by a bracket which mounts the connector so that the body portion extends at an angle to the plane of the main frame. With an appropriate angle, a useful space is provided between connectors, for access, while removal and replacement of protector modules, and entire connectors, is readily available. One particularly appropriate angle is about 53.degree., while another is about 70.degree., although these can vary. A test field can also extend along one side, adjacent to the jumper field.
