The BR851441 bridging adapter “Y” provides a station solution and an option for a speaker, power failure ringer or an ancillary devise requiring the use of pair 1. This configuration eliminates the need for a hard wire bridge at the cross connect. The BR851441 plugs into an RJ45 jack, bridging out 4-pair to a RJ45 jack (1) & bridging pair 1 to an 8-Position jack (2).
