Abstract
In a building cable system, a building cable has a portion for carrying electronic data signals for networked digital computers and a second portion for carrying electronic telephonic signals for telephone instruments. The system includes a relay rack with a data cross connect panel connected to the data signal carrying portion of the building cable for carrying data signals. A wire terminal panel is mounted on the relay rack. The wire terminal panel includes a pair of supports fixed to the relay rack. A pivot pin is mounted on each of the supports. A telephone block bulkhead is pivotally mounted on the pivot pins to pivot relative to the supports and the relay rack. A bulkhead lock releasably connects the telephone block bulkhead to one of the supports to hold the telephone block bulkhead in a selected position. The telephone block bulkhead includes a wall. A telephone terminal block is mounted on the wall, and the telephone terminal block is connected to the telephonic signal carrying portion of the building cable.
