Abstract
A patch block and bracket assembly is presented. The patch block includes a front face which houses a plurality of modular jacks. Each modular jack is prewired to one or more telephonic elecetrical connectors mounted on the base of the unit. The unitary electrical connector can be interfaced with a mating connector from a satellite piece of equipment. An advantage of this invention is the easy access to a modular jack hook up from several pieces of satellite equipment. The patch block is also used as a modular jack patching device which allows for the administration of wiring moves and changes without special personnel training or technical expertise.
