Abstract
An improved construction for a quick connect frame used for interconnecting a plurality of wires, which wires are part of a communication system, is the subject matter of this invention. The quick connect frame includes a pair of interconnected uprights. The uprights are held in a substantially vertical attitude. A vertical cable path is positioned adjacent to one of the uprights. A plurality of block modules is mounted on one side of the uprights. The one side of the uprights defines a substantially vertical upright plane. A set of terminating blocks is mounted on each of the block modules. Each set of terminating blocks on each block module is in one substantially vertical block plane, which block plane is spaced from and substantially parallel to the vertical upright plane. A horizontal jumper path is positioned adjacent to each set of terminating blocks. Each horizontal jumper path has a portion above its respective set of terminating blocks and a portion between the set of terminating blocks and the vertical upright plane. Each set of terminating blocks has a vertical jumper path to one side of each of the terminating blocks, which vertical jumper path is positioned between the vertical upright plane and the vertical block plane of the respective set of terminating blocks.
