circuit breaker Explanation: I don't actually believe this is a good translation of 'conjoncteur'. However, you might like to compare: https://www.cdiscount.com/bricolage/electricite/schneider-el... (in French) with https://www.amazon.ae/Schneider-Electric-SC5SHN0262366P-Tele... Note that the label on the product says "Prise téléphonique en T" |

peer agreement (net): +1switched connector Explanation: I feel pretty sure this is a conflation of 'connecteur' and 'disjoncteur' — these old sockets included a switch that disconnected some N/C contacts when a plug was inserted (the same sort of idea as the old 'Plan 1A' in UK telephony) In most other fields, we would talk about a 'switched connector' (or 'jack', etc. — cf. switched DIN sockets, etc.) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2022-02-17 17:08:49 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I think it's important that whatever term you use does not introduce a spurious notion of this being in any way an active component: it is in fact purely passive! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2022-02-17 19:08:55 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- For those who need references, here is just one (of very many) examples found on Google of a 'switched connector' in a telecoms context. US5567173A - Electrical connector - Google Patents https://patents.google.com › patent The connector is particularly useful for use in a telecommunications system, ... GB2426387A 2006-11-22 Switched connector for telecommunication system. It is more difficult to find valid references for the FR source term, which appears to be extremely specific to certain limited contexts particular to the telecoms context in France — but the context that is available makes the intended meaning empirically clear to anyone with the appropriate technical knowledge and experience. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 6 hrs (2022-02-17 22:12:00 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- There's nothing in your S/T to suggest this is an adaptor — indeed, part of your text seems to suggest that some other adaptor might be necessary to suit this particular type of connector. And if it is referring specifically to the old-fashioned (obsolete) French telecom socket, then it does indeed specifically include switch contacts (which RJ-11 / RJ-45 don't). Although it may be really obvious to you with the whole context in front of you, seen from this side of the screen, it is singularly unclear exactly what is being referred to here (and why?) — it seems unlikely that any current F/O system would be concerning itself with obsolete legacy copper connectors??!! |

splitter Explanation: As in telephone line / telephone / phone splitter. Answer based on Althea's reference and Bashiqa's discussion entry. Lots of images and references online to RJ12 and RJ45 splitters. See, for example: https://www.walmart.com/c/ep/telephone-line-splitters https://www.cmwltd.co.uk/p/telephone-splitter-each https://connectivitycenter.com/product/phone-splitter-straig... |

phone outlet / wall outlet /socket Explanation: I've always known a 'conjoncteur' as that clunky bit of last-century plastic on the wall into which you inserted the equally clunky male connector. See image.  |
