Abstract
A distributing frame for optical waveguides. The distributing frame is provided with connector blocks for receiving components designed to connect optical waveguides. The connector blocks are layered upon one another in panels and are mounted on a framework such that they may be individually moved in the layer plane. In a preferred embodiment each connector block is secured to a rod which can be swivelled in the layer plane.
Claims12
A distributing frame for optical waveguides and the like, comprising:
- (a) a fixed framework;
- (b) a plurality of like hollow connector blocks for receiving waveguide connectors;
- and
- (c) securing means for movably securing each connector block to the framework in a manner that
- all the connector blocks are movable to a first position in which they are aligned on top of each other along a longitudinal axis, thereby forming a panel and
- each of the connector blocks is independently movable in a plane which is perpendicular to said longitudinal axis.
