Abstract: The invention relates to a cross-connection arrangement for a telephone exchange. The arrangement includes a frame (1), a number of frame-mounted subscriber-associated connection pins (24, 24') in one or more terminal units (2a), and a number of frame-mounted telephone-exchange-related line-circuit-associated connection pins in one or more terminal units (3a'). The terminal units are disposed close together and have necessary jumpers (23) for connecting selected subscriber connection pins with selected telephone-exchange connection pins via contact devices (33, 34) connected to the ends of said conductors. The contact devices (33, 34) and the conductors (31, 32) extend into an open space (26) defined by a bar (20) to which the subscriber terminal units (2a) are related.
