Abstract:
A telephone cable adapter is provided to distribute and translate the conductor pairs of a telephone cable to electrically connect and translate the color code to a noncorresponding multi-plug telephone set. The adapter has a plurality of male plugs adapted for connection to corresponding connectors of the telephone cable; and a plurality of female connectors, different in number from the male plugs, adapted for connection to corresponding plugs of the telephone set. The pins of the male plugs are electrically connected to sockets of the female connectors by conductors, such as wires or printed circuit pathways, to direct and translate conductor pairs of the cable to the connectors and color code of the telephone set.
