Abstract:
1. A telephone plug receptacle assembly for receiving a plug of a transmitter/receiver and for receiving color coded wires of telephone cables with the wires of a first cable bearing a different color code than the wires of a second cable, comprising: a mounting block, said mounting block defining a socket for receiving a keystone plug of a receiver/transmitter, a wall plate for attaching said plug receptacle to a wall of a building structure and defining a plug opening extending therethrough, said mounting block and said wall plate attached to each other with said socket of said mounting block in alignment with said plug opening of said wall plate, said mounting block including a plurality of electrically conductive junctions, said junctions arranged in a U-shaped array with a center axis extending through said U-shape with one half of the junctions on one side of said center axis and the other half of said junctions on the other side of said center axis, a plurality of mounting block wire conductors each having a first end and a second end, said first ends of said mounting block wire conductors extending through said socket of said mounting block for registering with the electrical conductors of a plug received in said socket, each of said mounting block wire conductors extending from said socket to one of said junctions with said second end of each said mounting block wire conductor joined to one of said junctions, each of said mounting block wire conductors having intermediate its ends an insulation jacket of a different color from the colors of the insulation jackets of the other mounting block wire conductors, with said insulation jackets each corresponding in color with a color of one of said wires of the first cable, the mounting block wire conductors of each of said pairs of conductors joined to junctions on opposite sides of said center axis of said U-shaped array of junctions, with a first pair of mounting block wire conductors connected to the junctions at the base of the U-shape, and the second and subsequent pairs of mounting block wire conductors each connected in sequence to next adjacent junctions about the U-shaped array of junctions, said junctions each bearing color identification that corresponds with the color of one of said wires of said second cable. such that the wires of the first cable will be matched in color with the wire conductors of the plug receptacle bearing the same color, or the wires of the second cable will be matched in color with the junctions identified with the color of the wires of the second cable.
