Distribution box for telephone lines, subscriber and provider terminals linked by jumper leads

A junction box containing connections between a telephone service provider's line and subscriber lines includes a provider line connection module 36 and one or more subscriber line connection modules 44. Each of the modules has two sets of terminals. The provider line 42 is connected to one set of terminals on the provider module, while the subscriber lines 48 are connected to one set of terminals on the subscriber modules. The provider and subscriber modules are connected by jumper cables which connect to the other set of terminals on the provider and subscriber modules. The two sets of terminals on the subscriber modules are mounted on printed circuit boards which provide the interconnection between the two sets of terminals.
