A telephone network interface device (NID) isolation module (NIM). The NIM
is adapted to fit a telco-side modular jack of a NID bridging a telco
feed to inside wiring. The NIM comprises a modular plug made of an
electrically insulating material that fits securely in the modular jack.
Following disconnection of the telco feed from the inside wiring, the NIM
is inserted into the modular jack to prevent the reconnection of the
telco feed to the inside wiring. A tag component of the NIM is used to
provide instructions and warnings to a subscriber or a service technician
relating to the use of the telco-side modular jack.
