Abstract
A modular communications socket has a chassis, a main circuit board and a socket block. The chassis has a front and a rear. The main circuit board is mounted on the chassis near the rear of the chassis and electrically connects to the other circuit board. The socket block is mounted on the chassis near the front and has a contact assembly and a secondary circuit board. The secondary circuit board is mounted on the socket block and electrically connects to the main circuit board. The contact assembly is mounted in the socket block and electrically connects to the secondary circuit board. The circuits on the circuit boards connect the contact assembly simply to circuit board in the parent equipment through the main and secondary circuit boards.
