Model 508P

Protecting Personnel and Equipment
in the Central Office

The Model 508P is the first in the family of "UltraHigh Density" connector blocks. It features very high density termination at low cost. The 508P has provisions for exchange jumper connections on the right side of the block. The block is designed to terminate outside cable pairs (or exchange equipment pairs) on a main distributing frame.

Model 508P: Connector Block

High Density Mounting
The block terminates up to 100 outside cable pairs and occupies only 9 inches (22.8 cm) of vertical space when mounted on a conventional type distribution frame. Intervertical workspace when mounted on 8 inch (20.3 cm) verticals is 4.26 inches (10.8 cm). The block protrudes from its mounting screws 5.30 inches (13.2 cm) and does not protrude beyond the ladder guard on most conventional MDFS.

Variety of Protection
A variety of compatible protector modules are available. These include solid state, gas tube or Porta Systems exclusive radial carbon. Each are available with or without heat coils (for sneak current protection). Special purpose modules are also available.

Module Detent Features
The protector modules may be partially extracted to a "detent" position. In this position the outside pair is disconnected from the line equipment jumper field; however, the module continues to furnish protection.

Designation Area
Ample designation area is provided for cable numbers and pair count. The block itself is screened for easy pair and lead identification

 

Test Field
The test points are located in the cap of the protector modules and may be accessed by either an accessory single pair test cord or by an accessory test shoe which allows access to 50 modules (pairs) at a time

Low Noise
Block to protector contact design provides exceptionally good electrical connection. The contacts are well-protected and will maintain their outstanding contact low noise characteristics over the several decade life of the blocks.

Universal Mounting
The block is equipped with a universal mounting bracket and will fit the hole mounting pattern on most frames. Adapter strips are available for special requirements.

Replaceable Pins
All wire wrap pins on the block are field replaceable.

Stubbing
The block is available with or without a factory pre-attached cable stub. Specify 22 or 24 AWG cable and length up or down or "none" when ordering.
