    Abstract: A heterogeneous functions-integrated communication device which is improved in the efficiency of optical connector connection/disconnection work and which enables non-redundant arrangement without the need to increase the size of the device. Those DS3 interface connectors of a customer interface section which are required only in the non-redundant arrangement are mounted on an expansion shelf, whereby the size of a shelf body is reduced and, in the case of redundant arrangement, the expansion shelf may be detached. Optical fibers can be introduced at a front side of the device from obliquely below to plug-in units, so that the optical fibers can be connected/disconnected without the need to pull out the plug-in units.
