Protecting Personnel and Equipment
in the Central Office

The Model 88 Terminal Blocks are compact, eight inch wide terminal blocks with the capacity to terminate very high density circuits such as SMAS test points, digital carrier and Metallic Facility Terminations (MFTs). They are also available in moderate capacity configurations for use in terminating subscriber line circuits.

Model 88: Termination Block Family

High Density Mounting
The 88 Block terminates up to 256 pairs on a 16 x 32 wire wrap or bifurcated wire wrap pin field. Mounting and installation is extremely simple. The block is mounted to the horizontal iron work and then the face is simply flipped up to allow termination of the exchange cable. The face is then flipped back down and is available for jumper installation. The block may also be vertically mounted with a special adapter mounting bracket (part #1200-624713). 

The unit is just 3.5 inches (8.9 cm) high by 3.6 inches (9.1 cm) deep and 8.0 inches (20.2 cm) wide. Eight mounting holes allow the block to be mounted horizontally or vertically on any standard distributing frame. Alternate "reverse slope" mounting arrangements are available to facilitate terminating jumper wires when blocks are mounted on upper rails or beneath mezzanine floors.

Designation Area
There are two ample designation areas on the Model 88 Block - one on the inside of the cover and the other on the outside of the cover.

88 Blocks are available in 7 standard configurations:

256-pair 16 x 32 pin field
