Versablock
terminal blocks that offer termination arrangements confi gured
for decimal and octal pair-count applications.
The product family is intended for use on central offi ce (CO)
frames, private automatic branch exchange (PABX) frames or
any application where a compact terminal block is required.
The Versablock
assembly measuring 200 mm (7.875 in.) wide, 98.4 mm
(3.875 in.) high and 121 mm (4.75 in.) deep.
A variety of cross-connect terminal counts is available up to128
pairs. Cross-connect terminal options include both single and
bifurcated wire-wrap and bifurcated quick-clip insulation
displacement connection (IDC). Each Versablock
Terminal Block has a protective front cover to shield connec-
tions from wire clippings and other debris. The cover snaps on
and off easily.
Jumper wires are routed through front and rear fanning strips.
The front slots are aligned with the wire-dressing channels
between terminal rows. This allows rapid cross-connect wire
identifi cation and promotes orderly dressing.
An integral locking system is employed on the connectors of
connectorized units. This locking mechanism safeguards
connectors against accidental uncoupling. The standard male
connectors are equipped with windows that engage pre-
installed spring clips at both ends of female cable connectors.
The connectors may be readily disengaged by means of a ball-
point pen or similar pointed object. This latching arrangement
eliminates the need for additional locking hardware. Alternately,
screws and tie-wraps may be used if desired.
The following mounting hardware is provided with each
Versablock
Note: A QTH38B tool is required for terminating cross-connect
(jumper) wires on blocks ordered with the bifurcated quick-clip
IDCs on the cross-connect fi eld.
