Abstract
The present invention provides a wiring standard selector switch for use in a universal network cable system. The switch comprises a baseboard made of an insulating material and a cover shaped and dimensioned to be connected to the baseboard. A switch actuating means is mounted beneath the cover and has a portion which extends through a slot formed in the cover and is movable slidably along the slot of the cover. A plurality of circuit conductors carried by the switch actuating means, are disposed on the switch actuating means so as to achieve paired electrical contact between a first and a second set of contact members on the baseboard. By moving the switch actuating means slidably along the slot of the cover, at predetermined space intervals, the first and second sets of contact members engage the plurality of circuit conductors so as to establish a different complete circuit. Each of the different complete circuits corresponds to a different network wiring standard.
