Actually, back in "the day", Suttle made most Bell System connectors, blocks, most inside plant/CPE type hardware. After Judge Greene they continued to produce using the same spec and part number.
So, a 42A connecting block from Suttle was the same as the one from Bell less the Bell on the Lid.
When Lucent/AT&T/Avaya came along, who do you think made their IDC-type connectors?
History class is now over, class dismissed, roll me into the sunlight, :sleep:
