1. A telecommunications coupling device for mounting a pair of connectors through a single industry standard-sized hole, comprising:

  • a main body member;

    a registration ridge extending forward from said main body member, at least a first portion of said ridge being adapted to extend into said hole to align said main body member with respect to said hole;

    a pair of apertures through said main body member, and adjacent each other, said pair of apertures being generally surrounded by said registration ridge for alignment of both apertures with said hole;

    a pair of retaining members extending rearwardly from said main body member, adjacent to said apertures, said retaining members being adapted to retain a pair of connector housings for supporting said respective connector in alignment with said respective apertures to permit coupling to a telecommunication apparatus; and

    a pair of support members extending rearwardly from said main body member, adjacent to said apertures, said support members extending rearwardly beyond said retaining members, said support members having slots therein adapted to receive a termination plate and support said termination plate in a position above said retaining members and spanning said pair of apertures.
