711 Connector System –
A Flexible, Ecomomical Way to Connectorize
Central Offices
Description
Lucent Technologies' 711 Connector System comprises a family of
modular cable-splicing connectors in various sizes, and the
associated assembly tools, documentation and test equipment. This
system is ideal for mass termination of cable-to-cable or cable-to-
apparatus wiring in the central office. The 711 Connector solves
the basic central office problem of reusing, rearranging or
retrofitting equipment by:
•
straight splicing
•
bridging
•
half tapping
•
and dual half tapping
urations and multiple combinations. It accommodates 22 to
26 AWG (.64 to .40mm) wire conductors and is reconnect-
able. It provides for in-service retermination capability not
available with most other connector systems.
•
Assembly costs are reduced because there is no need for sol-
dering or wire stripping. New equipment may be shipped pre-
connectorized and ready for immediate hook-up.
•
Test points are exposed for easy access.
•
Assembled with flame-retardant plastic. Built-in grippers
eliminate the need for cable clamps.
•
Available in 12, 25 and 32 pair sizes.
How It Works
The 711 receptacle assembly is made up of two mandrels. These
are used to align and secure the wires to be joined. The mandrels
are then inserted into the side openings of the receptacle housing.
This step is repeated with a second set of wires to be joined,
forming another receptacle assembly. The two receptacle
assemblies are snapped onto each side of a common connector
module, forcing the wires into the connector contact elements,
penetrating the insulation and making a firm, gas tight connection.
Disconnection is simple, requiring only the twist of a screwdriver.

Applications
.
Pre-connectorized Apparatus/Equipment
Pre-connectorized Apparatus/Equipment permits shortening of the
installation interval. It also allows for upgrading to the latest
vintage digital switches without interruption of service
.
Reuse
Electromechanical and earlier electronic switching systems are
being replaced in many locations with a newer electronic
counterpart. Often bays are fairly new and can be used to expand
other electromechanical and earlier electronic systems with the aid
of the 711 Connector System.
Rearrangement
This versatile system can be used for equipment cables or private
networks needing to reorganize telephone equipment bays
(without service interruption) for a more efficient and less costly
use of floor space
Retrofit
Retrofit applications involve upgrading or modifying existing
working systems with state-of-the-art systems without interrupting
service. The 711 System makes this operation practical.

Specifications
The 711 Connector is made of highly durable, flame retardant
polycarbonate plastic.
Slotted Beam Contacts are made from a high strength elastic Cu-
Ni-Sn (copper, nickel, tin) spinodal alloy.
Wire accommodations are 22 and 24 AWG (.64 and .51 mm) BU
and 26 (.40mm) BY-Type wire. Wire sizes may be mixed by
selecting mandrels to accept a combination of 22 (.64mm) and/or
24 and 26 AWG (.51mm and .40mm) wires.
