  • Publication number: 20060286824
    Abstract: The distribution connecting module for telecommunications and data systems technology, comprises a housing inside of which input and output contacts for connecting lines and wires are placed, said contacts being accessible from the exterior. The housing is provided with a cavity inside of which at least one printed circuit board is placed. The input and output contacts are situated on the opposing faces of the housing. The input contacts are provided in the form of at least one connector strip with insulation displacement contacts. The input and output contacts can be detachably connected to the printed circuit board. The connector strip supporting the input contacts is detachably connected to the housing via a front part. The insulation displacement contacts are connected to the printed circuit board via fork contacts.

  • Patent number: 7131845
    Abstract: Disclosed is a device for securing access to two distribution modules (1) used in telecommunication and data technology. Each distribution module (1) is provided with at least one system end (11) and one user end (12). Each connection end (11, 12) is provided with at least one series of insulation-piercing-contact elements. The distribution modules (1) are mounted on a frame (2). At least one access to the system ends (11) is secured by at least one locking device (3, 6) and at least one access to the user ends (12) is secured by at least one locking device (3, 6). The access lock to the user end (12) of at least one distribution module (1) can be unlocked independently of the other distribution modules (1).
