Distribution frame for telecommunications cable
First Claim
1. A termination shelf for telecommunications cable, comprising a first side and a second side remote from the first side, mounting positions for mounting a plurality of conductor connector means in mounting positions in the shelf with access to said first side, and a plurality of guide means, one for each mounting position, each guide means having first and second in-series guide parts and in each of which:
- the first guide part extends from the first side towards the second side of the shelf for guiding a flexible telecommunications cable transmission element positioned at the first side and fed into the first guide part along a fixed path through the shelf towards the second side; and
the second guide part is in-series with the first guide part to receive the transmission element from the first guide part, the second guide part being curved so as to guide the transmission element along a curved path and through a corresponding mounting position towards the first side of the shelf.

Abstract
Termination shelf for telecommunications cable with mounting positions for conductor connector devices. The mounting positions are accessible from one side of the shelf for insertion of the connector devices. Also a guide is provided to enable a flexible transmission element to be inserted into the tray from the same side as for shelf insertion, the guide being shaped to guide the transmission element towards a remote side of the frame and then to guide the tramsmission element in the opposite direction through the mounting position. Frontal loading of the connector devices and of incoming conductors is thereby a use feature with the termination shelf.
