Abstract
The fire block module includes a number of rectangular plate strips, arranged vertically and parallel to each other to form a grid layer. The grid layer is arranged horizontally in respect of the vertical direction of flame propagation occurring in the event of a fire, thus achieving good heat energy dissipation and preventing flame propagation.

A fire block module, comprising:
- a plurality of rectangular plate strips having a thickness of about 0.5 mm to about 3 mm and a width of about 20 mm to about 60 mm,
- the plate strips arranged vertically and parallel to each other to form a grid layer with the interval between the plate strips being approximately between 2 mm and 5 mm and the plate strips being connected together by connecting bars in a freely movable fashion within a rectangular frame enclosing the plate strips,
- wherein the grid layer is arranged horizontally with respect to the vertical direction of flame propagation occurring in an event of a fire.
A module rack with at least one fire block module including a plurality of rectangular plate strips, the plate strips arranged vertically and parallel to each other to form a grid layer, wherein the plate strips being connected together by connecting bars in a freely movable fashion within a rectangular frame enclosing the plate strips and wherein the grid layer is arranged horizontally with respect to the vertical direction of flame propagation occurring in an event of a fire, comprising:
- two side walls, connected together by at least one lower frame element and at least one upper frame element;
- and
- module holders to hold communication modules, wherein the at least one fire block module extends over an entire width and at least part of a depth of a module rack, which is provided between the module holders, wherein the plate strips have a thickness of about 0.5 mm to about 3 mm and a width of about 20 mm to about 60 mm and wherein the interval between the plate strips is approximately between 2 and 5 mm.
