  • Patent number: 7380992
    Abstract: A universal hybrid adapter includes a first housing part, a second housing part, and a sleeve. The first housing part has a receptacle end configured to receive a plug connector including a ferrule having a first diameter. The second housing part has a receptacle end configured to receive a plug connector including a ferrule having a second diameter different from the first diameter. A first end of the sleeve is configured to receive the ferrule having the first diameter and a second end of the sleeve is configured to receive the ferrule having the second diameter. The transition from the first end to the second end of the sleeve takes place at right angles.

  • Patent number: 5760551
    Abstract: An automatic rearrangement and distribution device for telecommunication and data lines with connection terminals for exchange office and subscriber lines and a remote controllable connection device having a gripping element. To automate a re-arrangement and distribution device provided with connection blocks, the connection terminals are disposed in connection blocks radially directed relative to a central axis. The connection device is swingable in central axis, and a gripping element is disposed radially displaceably at the connection device. For connecting the rearrangement and distribution device to copper cables as well as to fiber-glass cables, without modifications being required, the control paths at blocks for fiber-glass and for copper cable applications have identical lengths.
