Description

ASSEMBLY AND MODULE OF TELECOMMUNICATIONS FOR USE IN THE SAME Field of the Invention The invention relates to a mounting of three communication modules, as well as, to a telecommunications module, in particular, for use within a assembly. Background of the Invention In the field of telecommunications, numerous customers are connected to the switch or switch of a telecommunications company by means of telecommunications lines. Customers can also be referred to as subscribers or subscribers. The switch is also called an exchange. Between the subscriber and the switch, the sections of the telecommunication lines are connected with telecommunication modules. The telecommunications modules establish an electrical connection between a conductor that is joined to the telecommunications module on a first side, and another wire or conductor that is joined to the telecommunications module on a second side. The multiple telecommunications modules can be placed together at a distribution point, such as a main distribution distributor, an intermediate distribution distributor, an external cabinet or a distribution point located, for example, in an office building or on a REF.175696 private floor of the office building. To allow flexible wiring or wiring, some telecommunication lines are connected to the first telecommunication modules in a way that constitutes a permanent connection. The flexibility is realized by means of the so-called connection bridges, which couple -in a flexible way the contacts of the first telecommunications module with the contacts of a second telecommunications module. These connection bridges can be changed when a person moves inside an office building in order to provide a different telephone (ie, a different telephone line) with a certain telephone number, which intends to keep the person relocated. Recently, ADSL technology has expanded widely in the field of telecommunications. This technology allows at least two different signals to be transmitted on a single line. This is achieved by transmitting the different signals at different frequencies along the same line. The signals are combined at a particular point on the telecommunications line and are divided at another point. In particular, on the subscriber side, the voice and data signals that are separated are combined and sent to the central office by means of the same line. In the central office, the combined signal is divided. For the transmission of voice signals and data to the subscriber, the separate voice and data signals are combined in the. central office, subsequently, they are sent to the subscriber and finally, they are divided on the subscriber's side. After splitting the signal, the so-called POTS signal (ordinary or wireline telephone service) can be used to transmit the voice signals. The remaining part of the divided signal can be used, for example, to transmit data. The so-called dividers or separators, which are used to separate or combine the signal, can generally be located at any distribution point. In this context, a POTS wire or conductor or a POTS connection bridge indicates a wire, which is connected to the exchange of the telecommunications company. In addition, a line connection indicates a wire, which is routed to the subscriber or the customer. Finally, as discussed in more detail below, a DSLAM wire or conductor means a wire that is connected to a DSLAM and can therefore transmit, for example, data. A DSLAM - (Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer) processes the data signal. WO 2002/076109 discloses a divider that is integrated into a main distribution distributor. An integrated assembly comprises three series of contacts, a first series that is connected to a line, a second series that is connected -with the POTS and a third series that is connected to the DSLAM. The mounting contacts are coupled with the splitter circuits to separate the signal, which is transmitted on the line, to a POTS and DSLAM signal. While this known assembly provides an increase in versatility due to an additional series of contacts, this additional series of contacts could not be necessary in all cases, so that density can be improved, which is achieved through the known assembly . SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The invention provides an assembly in the field of telecommunications that achieves a high density in connection with telecommunications lines that carry line signals, POTS and DSLAM, which are coupled with telecommunications module contacts. In addition, a suitable module for this assembly is provided. The assembly comprises three telecommunications modules. The modules can have the same or similar structure. The modules can be "standard modules", as far as is appropriate with the modifications described below, since they are known to those skilled in the related field. In particular, the telecommunication modules can be band type modules with a wide and shallow front side in which the contacts for the coupling of the wires with them are exposed. This module is commercially available, for example, from Quante, 3M Telecommunications _de_Neuss., _ Germany, according to the SID business designation. The assembly comprises, in its basic configuration, three telecommunications modules. However, it is evident that any number of assemblies can be provided so that, preferably, a regular number of three provides the number of communication modules that are present. The telecommunications modules of the assembly have an equal number of contacts for the coupling of the wires or conductors with the mentioned contacts. The contacts can be IDCs (insulation displacement contacts), wire wrapping contacts or any other type of contacts. In addition, several contacts can be grouped together so that they constitute a connector, in which a complementary connector having the same number of contacts grouped together can be coupled. The fact that the modules of the assembly have an equal number of -contacts corresponds with the appearance that three modules of the same or similar configuration can be used in the assembly. The assembly also includes splitter circuits. As will be apparent to those skilled in the art, division circuits comprise suitable filters, such as low pass and high pass filters that divide the combined signal as described above. Furthermore, although the reference to the "division" of a signal has been made, the basic requirements are essentially identical at this point in the telecommunications system where the POTS and DSLAM signals are combined together so that they will be fed to the line . In this way, the reference to "divisor" could be understood in appropriate circumstances to be a reference that could be called a signal "combiner". As described in more detail below, a third of the assembly contacts are adapted to transmit a DSLAM signal from the splitter to the DSLAM and vice versa. On the one hand, this signal is provided by the divider circuit, which separates the signal from the line that normally comprises a POTS signal or a voice signal, as described above, and on the other hand, the data, ie, the DSLAM signal in their respective frequency bands. Therefore, each divider circuit provides a DSLAM signal, which is transmitted by a pair of conductors or wires, so that a pair of contacts of the assembly is used to transmit this signal. In this way, the number of splitter circuits corresponds to half the number-of contacts of each module, since one third of the contacts of the assembly are adapted to transmit the DSLAM signal, and two contacts are required for the transmission of each signal . Particularly in an initial or intermediate state, the assembly may comprise fewer divider circuits than half the number of contacts of each module. In particular, the assembly can be constructed step by step by adding splitter circuits as required. Therefore, the advantages of the invention could also be used if the assembly of three telecommunications modules was prepared with the contacts thereof which are adapted to transmit several signals as mentioned above. In this case, the assembly may be adapted to receive and / or accommodate the dividing circuits in a number as described above for the purpose of providing the aforementioned contacts with the signals to be transmitted. The dividing circuits, as described above, comprise an electrical circuit that separates or combines a signal. This signal is transmitted by means of contacts of the divider circuit, which are coupled with mounting contacts. The mounting contacts that receive, for example, a DSLAM signal from the splitter, are therefore adapted to transmit the DSLAM signal. Correspondingly, a pair of wires or conductors leading to the DSLAM will be coupled with these mounting contacts. The corresponding considerations apply to those contacts that are described to be adapted to transmit the line and POTS signals. The assembly_ described in. the present provides a high density telecommunications assembly, as preferred, and as described above, in a final state, in which all connections are made and all spacers are present, in which the assembly is adapted to the reception of each divider and each contact of the assembly is used to connect the wires to them. This includes variations and modifications, in which there are additional contacts, which are left unused or are used for other purposes, such as for the connection of drainage or ground wires. The high density described above is achieved by making efficient use of these mounting contacts, which are adapted to transmit the various signals that were described earlier and for this purpose, can be coupled with a divider. In contrast, the previous modules having an even number of contacts were not configured to be used in the manner described above, so that at least some contacts remained free of wires, which reduced the density of the connection. As an example, three modules with 16 pairs of contacts, each one can be used to serve 16 subscribers. That is to say, as described above, it is achieved by assembling three telecommunications modules that have the same or at least a similar structure. In particular, with a currently preferred type of telecommunications module that is being used, a 45-millimeter inclination can be made, which means that with the assembly having a height of 45 millimeters, 16 voice / DSL subscribers can be served. In general, the assembly is flexible with respect to the particular location of the contacts that are adapted to transit the line signal, the POTS signal and the DSLAM signal. However, a specific telecommunications module could only contain contacts that are adapted to transmit the DSLAM signal. In other words, one of the three telecommunication modules of the assembly is used as a specific module type DSLAM. In this case, this DSLAM module can be placed between the two remaining modules. This provides a particularly logical and clear structure compared to conventional assemblies since half of the DSLAM module contacts - (eg, a first series of contacts) can be associated with the contacts of each adjacent module. In particular, the adjacent module can carry those contacts that are adapted to transmit both the line signals and the POTS signals of a first group of subscribers. The adjacent row of contacts of the DSLAM module can be adapted to transmit the DSLAM signal of those subscribers. This is described below with reference to Figures__l_ and 2 .__ Correspondingly, in the assembly described herein, a first half of contacts of at least one module can be adapted to transmit the line signals, and the rest, the Second half of the contacts of this module can be adapted to transmit the POTS signals. The dividing circuits can be integrated into a mounting that has multiple divider circuits, possibly all the divider circuits that are required for the assembly described above. However, the dividing circuits can also be provided separated from each other, so that a particular circuit has three pairs of two contacts, in total, six contacts, each of which is connected with a suitable contact of the assembly. Therefore, this separator circuit, which can be provided in a suitable separate component and integrated, such as a splitter block, can be called a single line splitter. With this measure, only this divider that is connected to the lines of a particular subscriber, can be removed from the assembly or added to it, in case of problems that are generated not in the case that a subscriber, who previously only had the service POTS, want to use the ADSL service additionally. In addition, the assembly may comprise a carrier system with telecommunications modules of the assembly that can be attached to the carrier. The connection systems of the modules and the carrier cooperate, essentially, to allow the releasable mounting of the modules in the carrier. These joining systems can be particularly adapted to allow the rotary movement of the module and / or the assembly of modules with respect to the carrier. As described in more detail below, this allows easy access to the back side of the assembly. In particular, the dividing circuits can be released and located on the rear side of the assembly, which leads to the following advantages. On the front side of the modules, the contacts thereof are exposed which are adapted to couple the wires therewith. In certain situations, these conductors or wires need to be manipulated, for example, to be extracted and connected with other contacts. In addition, it may be necessary to insert test pins or protective components, such as surge or overcurrent protectors from the front side. These processes are facilitated by the structure described, where the rear side is accessible through the rotary movement of the mounting modules to allow the insertion of other components, such as the splitter circuit from the rear side. In particular, the carrier can be at least partially open on one side thereof opposite the carrier attachment system. This provides additional advantages with respect to the components such as the divider circuits that are being inserted into the telecommunication modules from a back side thereof. As will be apparent, when a module is rotated around the junction location on one side thereof, any of the components that are present on the back side, in particular on the opposite side of the junction location, when the module is rotated around the union system, will move in a circle that extends in addition to the junction location that the initial position of the component on the back side. Therefore, a carrier that is open, at least partially, on a side opposite the junction location, allows this movement of any component that is present on the rear side of the module. In this way, the use of the back side for the insertion of components, such as the dividing circuits, will be facilitated. In addition, the carrier described above can be adapted to carry the assembly of three modules, although the carrier can also be adapted to carry any desired number of these mounts and / or signal modules. It should be mentioned that this carrier is - that is, that it has a connection system for a connection that can be turned on one side and that is open, at least partially, on the opposite side, is considered new and the subject of the present description with or without a ccjnbinación__cDn__el_mo_nLaje__ that was described previously.

In particular, the carrier described as such leads to the advantages also with the general telecommunications modules, that is, not necessarily the modules that constitute the assembly described above. Generally, the carrier can be described as being asymmetric. The assembly may further comprise an adapter, which may be provided on the at least partially open side. The adapter can allow the connection of the module with the carrier on the side that is opposite the connection system, which allows the rotary union to be made. In addition, the adapter can be configured to connect the three modules of the assembly and / or connect the assembly to the carrier. The adapter can be attached to the module through any suitable system, such as hooks. The same considerations apply to the interaction between the adapter and the carrier. The invention also provides a telecommunications module, in particular for use within the assembly described above, in which at least one divider circuit can be introduced, at least partially, from a different side of the side. front of the telecommunications modules, in which the contacts are exposed to connect the wires with them. Of this, in contrast, with the previously known concept, the front side is kept clear of any of the components having dividing circuits. This provides the advantage that the wires connected to the module can be easily manipulated and the components such as the test pins and the protection components can be easily attached to the module. Because any of the divisor components can be kept off the front side, the reliability of the installation is improved as a whole, that is, both the divider circuit and the telecommunication lines. To allow at least partial insertion of one or more divider circuits from a different side of the front side, the telecommunications module may have one or more suitable holes in the upper, lower and / or rear side. In addition, the module can be open, that is, accessible on its front side to allow the insertion of additional components, such as protection modules and / or test pins. Therefore, these modules can be introduced into the module with one or more dividing circuits that are not being affected, since these are introduced from a different side of the front side. In particular, the module described herein may be at least partially open on its back side in order to allow the insertion of one or more divider circuits. With respect to a combination of a telecommunications module described herein with the asymmetric carrier described above, the module may have a joining system on one side that cooperates with the essentially complementary linkage system of the carrier. On the opposite side, the module can have a joint extension, which essentially compensates for the at least partially open side of the carrier. Therefore, the module that includes the joint extension and any of the components that are present on the back side of the module, can be rotated around the joint system without the danger of being blocked by the carrier. Therefore, a highly convenient combination of at least one module with at least one carrier is provided. Finally, as already indicated above, the assembly described herein, as well as the module described above can be combined with a shelf and / or cabinet, which includes the aforementioned carrier and / or a DSLAM. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS Hereinafter, the invention will be described by means of non-limiting examples thereof with reference to the figures, in which: Figure 1 shows a side sectional view of the assembly described herein; Figure 2 shows a front view of an assembly in which the types of contacts of the modules are indicated; Figure 3 shows a rear perspective view of a mounting described herein that is rotatably placed in a carrier; and Figure 4 shows a perspective side view of four assemblies described herein, which are placed in a carrier. Detailed Description of the Invention Figure 1 shows in a side view in -cut, an assembly 10 as described herein comprising three telecommunications modules 12, 14 and 16. As will be described in more detail with reference to Figure 2 , the conductors or wires that transmit a POTS signal, called POTS connection bridges 18, as well as the wires that transmit a line signal, called line connection bridges 20, are connected to the contacts 22 and 24 of a first module 12. In the embodiment shown, the wire connections are the same for the third module 16. For the third module 16, the POTS connection bridges are denoted 42, and the line connection bridges are denoted with the 4. In contrast, all the contacts 26 of the central module 14 are adapted to transmit a DSLAM signal and therefore, each is connected with a DSLAM wire 28, 46. In this way, the central module 14 could be called the DSLAM module. . In this context, the DSLAM wires 28, 46 could also be connected from the back side of the module 14 (not shown). This allows an advantageous demarcation. This means that the contracting company that is responsible for the DSLAM is clearly separated, that is, it has its wires on the back of the module, when compared to the wires of the telephone service provider who has wires on the front of the module . With respect to the connections between the modules 12, 14 and 16, it can further be mentioned that the line connection bridges 18 and 42, respectively, could be coupled with the DSLAM wires 28 and 46, respectively, for example, through a suitable bridge that is preferred to be located on the back of the module in order to provide only this service for which DSLAM connections are required. As is apparent from the bottom of Figure 1, several divider circuits 30 ', 30"are connected to contacts 22, 24 and 26 of modules 12, 14 and 16. In the embodiment shown, for each of the three-contact divider circuits are visible, one of which - which is denoted by 32, is coupled with the contact 22 transmitting the POTS signal, the second of which is denoted by 34, is coupled with the contact 24 of the module _12__ which transmits the signal line and the third of which is denoted by the 36, is coupled with the contact 26 of the DSLAM module 14 transmitting the DSLAM signal, in the mode shown, all the contacts 32, 34, 36 are coupled with a printed circuit board 38 of the divider circuit, in which the necessary electrical connections are provided in order to separate or combine the line signal into or from a POTS signal and a DSLAM signal. os, such as low-pass and high-pass filters, are only shown schematically. In addition, a first left divider circuit 30 'and a second right divider circuit 30"are provided as mirror images to each other, in this way, the structures can be kept simple.In the embodiment shown, pin 40 is present, which disconnects the divider In this way, the so-called power line service is provided under tension in which the POTS connection bridge 18 and the line connection bridge 20 are coupled together by means of the contacts 22 and 24, and in this way, the POTS service is provided alone, alternatively, instead of the insertion of the plug shown in Figure 1, the divider 30 'could be removed and those contact areas where s entered in pin 40 could form a discontinuous point with the contacts being diverted between - - yes - or - so - 7 - euande - la-dav-i-ja ~ - 0 -or any other member such as a protruding portion of the divider circuit 30 'is removed, the disconnection point could be coupled and a connection could be established between the POTS connection bridge 18 and the line connection bridge 20. Also in this way, the so-called power line service under voltage could be provided. With respect to the DSLAM module 14, which is shown in the center of Figure 1, this module may also have a disconnection point co or described above for the module 12, and which is in addition shown for the module 16 Therefore, while not shown specifically in Figure 1, also the DSLAM module 14 may have a disconnection point, as will be apparent to those skilled in the art with respect to modules 12 and 16. It is particularly evident from Figure 2 that it is preferred that all contacts of each assembly 10 of the three modules be used to achieve a higher density. The contacts of all the modules are placed in parallel lines along the front side of each module. In the first module 12, a first upper row of contacts is used for the POTS connection bridges of the subscribers 1-8. A second lower row of contacts is used for the line connection bridges for the same subscribers 1-8. In the DSLAM module 14, the contacts of the first upper row are used for the connection with the DSLAM wires of the subscribers 1-8. The second lower row of the DSLAM module 14 is used for the DSLAM wires of the subscribers 9-16. Finally, the use of contacts of the third module 16 completely corresponds to the use of the first module 12. In this way, with three modules 12, 14 and 16, which have at least the equal number of contacts, 16 subscribers can be served without leave any of the contacts not used. This achieves a surprisingly high density in the components within the shelf that maintains the array 10. It is apparent from FIG. 2 that the assembly 10 makes efficient use of the contacts, which are present with a comparatively low height H. In FIG. In particular, with the currently preferred modules 12, 14 and 16 constituting the assembly, the configuration of Figure 2, ie, a mounting, is preferred to have a height of approximately 45 millimeters. This leads to higher capacity and density. In the modality shown, with 16 subscribers that are served by each assembly 10, each module has two rows of contacts with 16 contacts each. Therefore, eight pairs of contacts are present in each row. Each pair of contacts transmits a POTS line or a DSLAM line.

With respect to the divisor circuits visible in the Figure l? __ these can be single line dividers because they comprise three pairs of contacts, each pair is connected with three pairs of contacts of module 14 and 12 or 16, respectively. In addition, both divider circuits 30 'and 30"could be formed into an integral component carrying two separator circuits (see Figure 2) for subscribers 1 and 9 or 2 and 10 and so on. The single line, that is, the dividing circuits that can separate the signals for a single line, can be formed into an integral component that could be called a plural line splitter, in addition, a divider pin that is shown in the sectional view. Figure 1 could have a certain extension in the direction perpendicular to the plane of Figure 1, so that the dividing circuits of subscribers 1 and 2, 1-3 to 1-8 can be integrated into a suitable pin. In other words, a single plug comprising multiple splitter circuits could be used to connect multiple splitter circuits with plural lines, and all splitter circuits for subscribers 1-16 could be integrated. attached on a divider pin. Any combination of the configurations described above is possible, so that for example, the subscribers 1, 2, 9 and 10 are served by a divider pin comprising four divider circuits. As will be apparent from the foregoing description, the assembly described herein may comprise three modules, with the general structure of which those skilled in the art will become aware. In particular, an assembly that is advantageously suitable for the provision of a voice and data transmission service can be presented in an efficient and cost-saving manner. As described above, the assembly achieves a high connection density with a clear structure of POTS, line and DSLAM contacts, as can be seen from Figure 2. Figure 3 shows an assembly 10 similar to that presented in FIG. Figure 1, which is placed on a carrier 48 so that it can be rotated with respect to the carrier 48. Unlike most known carriers, the carrier 48 shown in Figure 3 does not have a similar cross section a donut or, as is also known, a structure of two parallel rails or profiles, although the carrier 48 is open on one side 50 thereof. On the opposite side, a leg 52 of a generally asymmetric L-shaped structure is provided. On this leg 52 a joining system 54 is provided. This joining system 54 is made of plastic. It can also be made from any other suitable material, while the carrier 48 can be made, for example, from metal. The link system 54 cooperates with the link system 56, which is provided in the assembly 10. In particular, these link systems 54, 56 cooperate to allow the rotational movement of the assembly 10 relative to the carrier 48. In the case shown, the joining system 54 comprises at least one axis 58, and the joining system 56 comprises the holes suitable to cooperate therewith. With respect to the assembly 10, it should be mentioned that the joining system 56, in the embodiment shown, is provided integral with a type of distributor 60 that surrounds the assembly 10 of three modules. In the right and upper part of Figure 3, the multiple divider circuits 30 can be observed. In the case shown, the divider circuits 30 are configured as single line dividers as described above. On the right side of Figure 3, an adapter 62 is shown, which generally forms the connection with the carrier 48 on the open side 50 thereof. In the shown case, the adapter 62 is made of plastic, and can be made from any other suitable material. further, it is releasable, for example, by means of latching mechanisms connected to the distributor 60. At the rear thereof, the adapter 62 comprises a suitable structure 64 which is adapted to cooperate with a linking structure £ ¡-6 provided in the carrier 48. In the embodiment shown, the attachment structure 66 comprises a hole 68, so that the structure __ may have a projection cooperating therewith. The projection 70 is visible in Figure 4. It should be mentioned that the adapter 62 could be integral with the spreader 60 in order to form a joining extension as described above in connection with the general explanations with respect to the invention. As can be seen from Figure 3, the connection capable of being rotated between the assembly 10 and the carrier 48 allows the rotary movement of the module to be carried out, in order to bring the dividing circuits 30 towards the front part. In the normal state, the modules 12, 14 and 16 of the assembly 10 are exposed at the front, so that the dividing circuits 30 are normally not accessible. In addition, with a standard carrier 45, in which the divider circuits 30 would extend between the two legs, such as the leg 52 shown in Figure 3, the assembly 10 could not be easily carried in a position to perform any type of operation in the dividers circuits 30. However, with the new rotary connection this becomes possible. In particular, this can also be achieved for the structure shown in Figure 3, in which the divider circuits 3O could normally interfere with a leg, which could be provided on the open side 50 of the carrier 48. However, by providing adapter 64, the rotary union and stable connection of assembly 10 with carrier 48 is achieved. In figure 4, three assemblies 10 are shown in the normal state. In this way, the carrier 48 is adapted to carry multiple assemblies. In addition, also the single modules can be joined alternately or in addition to the assemblies 10 of Figure 4 with the carrier 48 so that they can be rotated relative thereto. One of the mounts 10 'is shown in the rotated state, in which the divider circuits 30 are accessible. Figure 4 shows, in particular, two rows of dividing circuits 30, which correspond to the two dividers 30 'and 30"of Figure 1. The wire guides, which will be known to those skilled in the art, can In addition, the projection 70 of the adapter 62, which is visible in Figure 4, can be made flexible to allow a releasable clutch with the hole 68 of the carrier 48. It is noted that in relation to this date , the best method known by the applicant to carry out the aforementioned invention, is the conventional one for the manufacture of the objects or products to which it refers.
