Abstract
Telecommunications modules (10) having contacts (12) adapted generally to connect wires therewith and arranged in at least one row defining a row direction (R), the contacts (12) comprising a length direction (L) extending substantially perpendicular to the row direction (R), wherein a projected length of at least one contact (12.3, 12.4) is smaller than the projected length of at least one adjacent contact (12.1, 12.2, 12.5) of the same row. Methods of using and making such modules are also provided.
Claims13
A telecommunications module having contacts adapted to connect wires therewith and arranged in at least one row defining a row direction, the contacts comprising a length direction extending substantially perpendicular to the row direction, wherein a projected length of at least one contact is smaller than the projected length of at least one adjacent contact of the same row.
A method of manufacturing a telecommunications module having contacts adapted to connect wires therewith comprising the steps of arranging the contacts in at least one row defining a row direction, the contacts comprising a length direction extending substantially perpendicular to the row direction;
- and forming a projected length of at least one contact less than the projected length of at least one adjacent contact of the same row.
