About the Wirepath WP-MOD-TEL 1x6 Telephone Distribution Module
The Wirepath WP-MOD-TEL 1x6 Telephone Distribution Module is a structured connectivity component designed for professional audio-visual, security, and communication system installations. This passive module serves as a centralized interface for distributing a single telephone line input to up to six separate output devices within a rack-mounted configuration. It is commonly integrated into structured media enclosures or equipment racks to provide a clean, organized, and accessible point for connecting fax machines, modems, credit card terminals, or other analog telephone devices that share a common incoming phone line. The module simplifies wiring management by consolidating multiple connections into a single, standardized plate, reducing cable clutter and improving the serviceability of the overall system.
Constructed with durability in mind, the module features robust RJ-11 telephone jacks that ensure reliable connections and are rated for repeated insertion and removal cycles. Its design is compatible with standard North American telephone wiring and follows typical structured cabling practices, making it a straightforward addition for system integrators. The "1x6" configuration indicates one input and six outputs, allowing multiple devices to be connected in parallel to the same line, though users must be mindful that only one device can use the line actively at a time unless additional circuitry for line sharing is employed elsewhere in the system. The module is typically a pass-through device with no active electronics, meaning it does not require external power and introduces no signal degradation for standard POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) lines.
This module exemplifies the organizational philosophy behind structured cabling systems, where modularity, labeling, and centralized access are paramount. For custom integrators working in residential, small office, or retail environments, the WP-MOD-TEL provides a professional and reliable solution for managing telephone line distribution alongside other low-voltage services like data, audio, and video. It helps create a future-proof infrastructure where services can be easily identified, tested, and reconfigured as needs change, ensuring long-term functionality and ease of maintenance for the installed technology ecosystem.
