Abstract

A telecommunications backbone junction module (10) is configured in the form of a cable connector for mounting in a telecommunications rack-mounting system and comprises through-contact elements for joining, particularly prefabricated, conductors of a backbone cable (12) on the one hand, and, on the other, IDC contacts in a front portion in the mounting position for joining the patching cables (14).

Claims

1. A telecommunications backbone junction module (10) in the form of a cable connector for mounting in a telecommunications rack-mounting system and comprising through-contact elements for joining the, particularly prefabricated, conductors of a backbone cable (12), on the one hand, and comprising, on the other, IDC contacts in a front portion in the mounting position for joining the patching cables (14).

2. The backbone junction module as set forth in claim 1 wherein it is configured split, one cable junction portion (18) being provided for joining the conductors of the backbone cable (132) connectable via suitable contacts (22) to a receiving portion (20) serving to join the patching cables (14).

3. The backbone junction module as set forth in claim 2 wherein the cable junction portion (18) is mountable in a telecommunications rack-mounting system.

4. A telecommunications distribution point including several backbone junction modules (10) as set forth in any of the preceding claims which are segregated from the line junction modules.
