Electrical connectors, are utilized in many different applications, where generally current is conveyed from a source to a use of power or grounding. Telecommunications involves many different application types in which connectors are used. Generally, telecommunications (telecom) are used in three broad business areas: Central Office, Outside Plant, and Mobility. Central Office refers to large facilities where very high volume communications are switched and processed. Outside Plant refers to switching stations where distributive switching occurs for commercial and home land lines. Mobility refers tower-based power and grounding to support mobile communication transmission. Generally, power is brought into these facilities to support reception and transmission and grounding connections serve to protect the systems from overload conditions, including lightning strikes.
