Abstract

A module for allowing an enclosure containing circuitry or electronics to be connected to the back of a jack plate behind the surface of a wall. The electronics module may be, for example, an ADSL POTS splitter for isolating voice-band services from ADSL data and voice services at the subscriber premises. The module includes a generally rectangular enclosure that has at least two legs for being inserted into holes in the jack plate to attach the enclosure to the jack plate. The legs preferably extend downwardly below the bottom of the enclosure and are preferably located as far apart from each other as possible, such as on diagonal corners of a rectangular enclosure. The legs of the enclosure are inserted into the holes on the back face of the jack plate, which faces inwardly into the stud cavity of the wall when attached to a wall box. In this manner, the module is attached to the back face of the jack plate in the stud cavity of a wall, thereby achieving an aesthetically pleasing, space-saving connection.
