Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2003045072
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A telecommunications module with a circuit board including pairs of connectors mounting on both sides of the circuit board held within a housing by structure that holds the circuit board offset from the front and rear of the module and connectors accessible openings in the rear wall of the module. A telecommunications patch panel (10) including one or more modules (14) mounted to the rear of a faceplate (12), each module with a circuit board (50) including pairs of electrically linked connectors mounting on both sides of the circuit board held within the module by structure that holds the circuit board offset from the front and rear of the module with connectors accessible through a rear wall of the module and through the faceplate. A method of assembling a telecommunications module and a method of assembling a telecommunications patch panel including one or more modules attached to the rear of a faceplate. A circuit board for mounting pairs of telecommunications connectors on opposite sides, the circuit board including circuits connecting the mounting locations, each circuit paired with and laid adjacent to another circuit and all the circuits positioned on a single layer of the circuit board without crossing another circuit. A circuit board for mounting pairs of telecommunications connectors on opposite sides, the circuit board including circuits connecting the mounting locations, each circuit paired with and laid adjacent to another circuit and at least one pair of circuits lying on a separate layer of the circuit board from the other pairs.
