Abstract
A cross connect system for telecommunication wires reduces the required time to install and effect cross connections if the wire connections are made by hand and changes are made between circuits by unplugging a modular plug and plugging it in at a different position. The connector of the present invention has a terminal block accepting a plurality of plugs connected each to a pair of wires and the plugs fit onto the terminal block or can be stacked on each other for half tapping, testing or transferring. Protected plugs may be provided having overvoltage protection circuits, and jumper plugs may be stacked onto such protected plugs.
