Install an RJ21 and cable to your Adit. As Steve mentioned the Adit has  
2 50pin connectors. They are female. An RJ21 is a 66M150 Block mounted  
on a bracket and wired to 2 50 pin connectors mounted on the same  
bracket. These connectors may be either male or female, but generally  
female.
See

datasheet.aspPN=157C&FAM=S66PrewiredMSerie&P=5739 for an example.

Go to your local telecom distributor, probably who you are ordering  
your Adit from, and get a prewired block and 2 25pr cables to connect  
your adit. If you are not going to ever exceed 24 lines then you may  
only connect 1 25pr able.
