Abstract
A connecting element (1), with a housing (2), with attachment means (3, 4, 5) for attaching the housing (2) to a support rail (9), preferably for attaching a top-hat rail (9), and with two connections (10, 11) in the housing (2) for cables (12, 13), particularly for telecommunication and/or data cables, such that each connection (10, 11) defines the direction of feed (18, 19) for the given cable, and the connections (10, 11) are so positioned that the feed directions (18, 19) for the cables (12, 13) enclose an angle smaller than 180°.
Claims5
A connecting element (1), with a housing (2), and with attachment means (3, 4, 5) for attaching the housing (2) to a support rail (9), and with two connections (10, 11) in the housing (2) to serve cables (12, 13), such that each connection (10, 11) determines the direction of feed (18, 19) for said cable (12, 13), wherein the connections (10, 11) are so positioned that the feed directions (18, 19) for the cables (12, 13) enclose an angle smaller than 180°, and
- wherein the connections (10, 11) are positioned such that when the attachment means (3, 4, 5) is mounted on a horizontally positioned support rail (9) in direct contact with a vertical wall, the feed directions (18, 19) for both connections (10, 11) are generally upwardly oriented,
- wherein the feed directions (18, 19) for the cables (12, 13) enclose an angle of about 90°.
A connecting element (1), with a housing (2), and with attachment means (3, 4, 5) for attaching the housing (2) to a support rail (9), and with two connections (10, 11) in the housing (2) to serve cables (12, 13), such that each connection (10, 11) determines the direction of feed (18, 19) for said cable (12, 13), wherein the connections (10, 11) are so positioned that the feed directions (18, 19) for the cables (12, 13) enclose an angle smaller than 180°, and
- wherein the connections (10, 11) are positioned that when the attachment means (3, 4, 5) is mounted on a horizontally positioned support rail (9) in direct contact with a vertical wall, the feed directions (18, 19) for both connections (10, 11) are generally upwardly oriented,
- wherein the connections (10, 11) are so positioned that when the connecting element (1) is mounted on the horizontally positioned support rail (9) both feed directions (18, 19) are orientated diagonally upwards,
- wherein the connections (10, 11) are so positioned that one of the feed directions (18, 19) runs at an angle of +45° to the vertical and the other feed direction (18, 19) runs at an angle of−45° to the vertical.
