  • Publication number: 20070002542
    Abstract: A functional module in the field of telecommunications has a front, a rear and four side faces, more than two first contacts and more than two second contacts, each first contact being connected with a second contact, the contacts being adapted to be connected with first and second contacts of at least one contact module. Contacts are adapted to connect wires therewith so as to establish electrical connection between the contacts of the functional module and the contacts of the contact module. In addition, a telecommunications module includes at least one functional module and at least one contact module. An assembly of two or more telecommunications modules and a kit of parts are described. A method of installing a telecommunications module include installing a contact module then fitting a functional module to the contact module.

  • Publication number: 20050023020
    Abstract: A device for the covering of the position of the module within the modular distribution frame is provided. The device comprises a covering unit that can be placed onto the position. The module is designed that it can be arranged side-by-side with other modules on the frame-body and the construction of the module allows the introduction of the wires with their wire ends, which are intended to be connected to the module. The covering unit as such is designed so that it provides protection to the wires and the wire ends and to maintain the defined positions of the wires.
