Cross connection link for switching devices modularly connected on a support member

A multi-phase cross connection link for carrying potential between at least two switching devices modularly connected on a support member, each switching device having connector holders for accepting the potential, the cross connection link comprising:

• a conductor rail associated with each phase and disposed in a housing, the housing being made of insulation material and extending lengthwise;
• and
• a plurality of tabs associated with the conductor rail, the tabs extending outward in a comb-like manner in a shared plane perpendicular to the lengthwise direction of the housing, the plurality of tabs being arranged next to each other in a sequence having a row distance that corresponds to a first grid distance of the connector holders of the switching device;
• wherein at least one end of the cross connection link, relative to the lengthwise extending, has incoming contact openings leading to the conductor rail,
• wherein the housing is configured as a box having a front and a back, and wherein the tabs extend from the front, and
• wherein the incoming contact openings are arranged along the back of the housing so as to allow the contact openings to be covered.
