The VX-connection module provides a connection point between an exchange-side cable pair and a distribution pair.

It incorporates a 5-point plug in module to provide continuity and a range of other options. Removal of the plug-in module does not disturb wire connections but makes contacts to them available for testing to both sides of the network.

It is especially recommended for

• outdoor connections where the environmental conditions are extremely aggressive,

• terminations where user development characteristics require future flexibility in terms of the type of protection or filtering capabilities.
