applications
The RJ48X connector is used for the
connection of 1.544 Mbps T1 digital service
lines. The RJ48X modular connector is an
8-position jack wired with four conductors
on 1/2/4/5, with a shorting bar that allows a
signal to pass from one pair to the other
when a plug is not inserted in the jack. The
shorting bar allows the user to disconnect
service without setting off the alarm at the
service provider, thus preventing costly
service and maintenance calls. The RJ48X
modular jack can be used in conjunction
with Panduit
