Definitions

  • connection device for connecting installation cables and network cables, comprising a base body which has a connection field for network cables and at least one connection means with which the base body can be connected directly or indirectly to a support body.
  • Connection devices for cables namely so-called patch panels or patch panels
  • Connection devices of this type are used in particular for the construction of cable structures in buildings.
  • a patch panel looks like a switch from the front.
  • a switch is a distributor or network switch.
  • a patch panel comprises many network connections arranged next to one another, which can either be connected to installation cables on a rear side or not yet connected to them.
  • a patch panel is used in larger networks of large operational units or industrial plants, in particular for reasons of clarity.
  • connections can be established on the front of a patch panel by simply plugging in patch cables or network cables.
  • patch panels By using patch panels, a network infrastructure can be changed relatively easily. Patch panels are often installed in so-called racks or server cabinets.
  • a patch panel is specifically required to establish a connection between an installation cable and a patch cable or network cable.
  • Patch cables have flexible wires and RJ45 plugs can be attached to these.
  • the connector is attached by crimping.
  • the patch cable can be plugged into a computer and into a wall socket, for example.
  • a first end of a laying cable with rigid wires is in turn connected to the wall socket.
  • the other end of the installation cable can be connected to a switch after it has preferably run through many rooms in a building will.
  • the switch however, has sockets for patch cables with RJ45 plugs that cannot be crimped onto an installation cable.
  • the installation cable is placed or connected to this with its free end.
  • Sockets are provided on the front of the patch panel to which a first end of a preferably short patch cable can be connected, the second end being able to be connected to a switch. This creates a connection between an installation cable and a switch.
  • the switch can combine individual computers or PCs to form a network. In complex network structures there is therefore a need for connection devices to which installation cables can be mounted particularly easily.
  • the US 2009/0038845 A1 Figure 11 shows a pivoting strain relief rod assembly consisting of a patch panel rotatably coupled to a strain relief rod, the patch panel and strain relief rod also being connected to a conventional frame that can support telecommunications or other electronic equipment. Cables that are to be connected to the patch panel are attached to the strain relief rod and are supported by it.
  • the strain relief bar can lock itself in a substantially horizontal position and thus remains fixed while it supports a large number of network cables.
  • the strain relief bar can also be unlocked and rotated so that a technician can access the patch panel without unnecessarily disconnecting the cables.
  • the US 2013/0134115 A1 Figure 12 shows an adapter plate support assembly having a frame assembly, a mounting bracket and a link assembly adapted to receive and support an adapter plate, the link assembly connecting the frame assembly to the mounting bracket to allow the frame assembly to rotate and releasably lock in more than two positions when a force is applied to the frame assembly.
  • the connecting arrangement has a plurality of detents, so that the frame assembly releasably engages in predetermined positions of the detents.
  • the connection assembly has a ball bearing piston mounted in the frame assembly. The ball bearing piston retracts when force is applied to the frame assembly to rotate the frame assembly between the detents and extends into each of the detents at each position of the detents to releasably lock the frame assembly in that position.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of connecting installation cables and network cables to a connecting device as easily as possible.
  • the above object is achieved by a connecting device having the features of claim 1.
  • the connecting device mentioned at the beginning is characterized in that the connecting means has or forms a pivot axis about which the base body can be pivoted relative to the support body, the connecting means being designed as a hinge, which has a first leg for connecting to the support body and a second leg to the base body associated leg, wherein the connecting means or a leg of the connecting means has at least one second form-fitting device for holding and / or fastening the base body, so that the base body can be reversibly connected to the connecting means.
  • the base body can be pivoted such that its rear side is easily accessible.
  • installation cables can easily be mounted on the rear of the base body, even if the connecting device is already attached to a support body, in particular to a top-hat rail.
  • the connection device does not have to be removed from a server cabinet or from a top-hat rail in order to mount the installation cable.
  • installation cables and network cables can be connected to a connection device without any problems.
  • the connecting means also advantageously has a film hinge.
  • two legs of the attachment means are connected to one another by a film hinge.
  • Film hinges can be manufactured inexpensively, are relatively stable and, depending on the material, can develop a certain rigidity.
  • the connecting means and thus the film hinge can preferably be made of a plastic.
  • the connecting means or one leg of the connecting means further advantageously has at least one first form-locking device for fastening on the support body.
  • the connecting means can be reversibly connected, in particular latched, to the support body by means of a form-fit device.
  • the base body is connected or can be connected to the connecting means and / or to a leg of the connecting means in a form-fitting and / or force-fitting manner. This makes it possible to use the base body independently of the attachment means to manufacture and to provide as a swiveling individual part.
  • the base body also advantageously has a, preferably plate-shaped, connection field area in which recesses are formed for plugs, in particular RJ45 plugs, of a network cable, the connection field area protruding from a, preferably plate-shaped or strip-shaped, contact area that rests against the connecting means.
  • the base body can easily be designed as an angled sheet metal or as a plate.
  • the areas can protrude from one another orthogonally or enclose suitable angles with one another, which promote accessibility of cables.
  • a cover area for attaching labels or for placing or attaching identification means protrudes from the connection field area.
  • a label holder can be applied to the base body, into which interchangeable labels for identifying the individual network plugs can be inserted in a manner known per se.
  • a strain relief area in which recesses for installation cables are formed, also advantageously protrudes from the contact area. As a result, the already connected ends of the installation cables are relieved of tension when the base body is pivoted.
  • An arrangement advantageously comprises a support body designed as a rail and a connecting device of the type described here, two connecting means being provided, each being designed as hinges with two legs each, a first leg being connected to the rail by a first form-fitting device is latched, with a second leg being latched to the base body by a second form-locking device and with the base body being pivotable relative to the rail about a pivot axis which is oriented parallel to the rail.
