Patent ID: 7379304

Claim:
A system for the selective attachment of a connector fitted conductor from a remote transceiver to one of a plurality of terminations on a printed circuit card installed within the chassis of the hub equipment of a millimeter wave point-to-multipoint communications system, said system comprising: a chassis; a plurality of printed circuit cards operatively installed in said chassis, each of said printed circuit cards having a faceplate and a plurality of terminations each adapted for operative connection to a connector on the distal end of the conductor from a remote transceiver, said faceplate having a plurality of apertures in predetermined locations relative to said terminations; an insert panel carried by and overlying said faceplate, said panel having at least one adaptor for the selective connection on the external side thereof to the connector on the distal end of a conductor from a remote transceiver, each of said at least one adaptors being in alignment with one of the apertures in said faceplate so that the internal side of said adaptor extends therethrough in proximity to one of the terminations of said printed circuit card; and means for electrically connecting the internal side of said adaptor to one of said terminations, the support of said at least an adaptor by said faceplate removing the weight of the connector and conductor from the remote transceiver from the printed circuit card to which connected.
