  • Device and method for automatic connection and disconnection of the binding cables within a distributor
    Patent number: 7292764
    Abstract: An optical fiber distribution frame including a first cross-connection panel and a second cross-connection panel facing each other, and a first support in each panel for connection modules. Each module on the first panel is adapted to be connected to one end of an optical fiber of a first group, each module on the second panel is adapted to be connected to one end of an optical fiber of a second group, and an optical fiber of the first group is adapted to be connected to an optical fiber of the second group by a jumper fiber which has two ends respectively received in a port of one of the modules on the first panel and in a port of one of the modules on the second panel. The first and second panels each include a second connection module support, with said second supports cooperating with each other to form a storage area for jumper fibers that are not in use and awaiting connection. The jumper fibers are automatically connected or disconnected by a device.

  • Large capacity automatic distributor, particularly for optic fibres; device and method for automatic connection/disconnection of the binding fibres within the distributor
    Publication number: 20060182406
    Abstract: An optical fiber distribution frame including a first cross-connection panel (B1) and a second cross-connection panel (B2) facing each other, and a first support (7) in each panel for connection modules (12) thereof. Each module on the first panel is adapted to be connected to one end of an optical fiber (R) of a first group, each module on the second panel is adapted to be connected to one end of an optical fiber (E) of a second group, and an optical fiber of the first group is adapted to be connected to an optical fiber of the second group by a jumper fiber (FL) which has two ends (e1, 20; e2, 20) respectively received in a port of one of the modules on the first panel and in a port of one of the modules on the second panel. The first and second panels each include a second connection module support (7), with said second supports cooperating with each other to form a stowage area for jumper fibers (FL) that are not in use and awaiting connection.
