Abstract
A wire carrier (100,102) for a NID module (10) for enabling termination of premise wiring tip and ring wires (22,24) to terminals (38,40) of the module for interconnection with circuits of the telephone service provider. Circuits of a circuit element (30) interconnect terminals (38,40) to contacts (36) of a jack (32) exposed for connection to a plug during test and otherwise shunted for in-service use. Each wire carrier preferably terminates both tip and ring wires (22,24) of a cable and is pivotable from a wire-receiving position to a wire-terminating position by a pivot section (104) to urge the wires (22,24) into slots (132) of terminals (38,40).
