TH67478A - Distribution panel with test access - Google Patents

Abstract

DC60 (16/04/47) The invention relates to a distribution panel (1) for telecommunications and information technology. The distribution panel (1) has one system side and one subscriber side, each side being formed by at least one distribution panel connection module (2,3). Each distribution panel connection module (2, 3) has a side of short connecting wires by using such a path, which can change the electrical connection between the system side and the subscriber side. It incorporates an access matrix (15). By using such a path, the electrical connection is routed between the system side and the subscriber side, making the electrical connection by using the access matrix (15) or otherwise making the connection to the test unit (16) via the test bus (17). The access matrix (15) is arranged in the distribution panel connection module (3, 2) on the subscriber side or the system side and with the distribution panel connection module (2, 3) that is appropriate for this purpose. The invention relates to a distribution panel (1) for telecommunications and information technology. The distribution panel (1) has one system side and one subscriber side, each side being formed by at least one distribution panel connection module (2,3). Each distribution panel connection module (2,3) has a short-span side by means of such a path, which can change the electrical connection between the system side and the subscriber side. It incorporates an access matrix (15). By means of such a path, the electrical connection is routed between the system side and the subscriber side, making the electrical connection by means of the access matrix (15) or otherwise making the connection to the test unit (16) via the test bus (17). The access matrix (15) is arranged in the distribution panel connection module (3,2) on the subscriber side or the system side and with the distribution panel connection module (2,3) that is appropriate for this purpose.

Claims (14)

1. Distribution Panel for Telecommunications and Information Technology A distribution panel has one system side and one subscriber side, each constructed with at least one panel connection module. Each panel connection module has a short-span side. By using this method, electrical connections between the system side and the subscriber side can be changed. It incorporates access matrices. By using this method, electrical connections are routed between the system side and the subscriber side, making the electrical connection by means of access matrices or otherwise connecting to a test unit via a test bus. The access matrices (15) are arranged in the panel connection modules (3, 2) on either the subscriber side or the system side. 2. A distribution panel as requested in claim 1, where the access matrix (15) is formed with relays (18). 3. A distribution panel as requested in claim No. 1 or No. 2, where relays (18) are arranged on a printed circuit board. 4. A distribution panel as requested under one of the preceding claims, where Access Matrix (15) has a co-opted microprocessor (19). 5. Distribution panel as requested in claim No. 4, where the microprocessor (19) has a power/control interface. 6. A distribution panel as claimed in one of the preceding claims, where the test bus (17) of one distribution panel connection module (2, 3) is in the form of a two-wire cable. 7. A distribution panel as claimed in claim No. 6, which enables the test bus (17) of two or more distribution panel connection modules (2, 3) to be connected to a test unit via the test matrix (20). 8. A distribution panel as requested under one of the preceding claims, whereby the DSL splitter (10) is arranged in at least one electrical connection section. 9. A distribution panel as claimed in claim number 8, where one or more DSL splitters (10) are arranged with the access matrix (15) in the distribution panel connection module (2, 3). 10. The distribution panel as requested in claim number 8, where the DSL splitter (10) is arranged in the distribution panel connection module (2) on the system side and the access matrix (15) is arranged in the distribution panel connection module (3) on the lessee side. 11. The distribution panel interface module for communications and information technology comprises a housing in which the input and output contacts for cable and wire connections are arranged in a way that allows external access to the contacts. The housing contains a cavity in which the functional elements are arranged on at least one printed circuit board. The input or output contacts are provided in the form of insulating displacement contacts, with the functional elements in the form of an access matrix (15). The access matrix (15) is externally accessible for testing by means of which the input and/or output contacts can be connected to a test unit (16). 12. The panel connection module as claimed in claim 11, whereby an additional functional component, the DSL isolate (10) and/or overvoltage protection component are arranged on the printed circuit board. 13. A panel connection module as claimed in claims 11 or 12, where the access matrix (15) contains a switching element in the form of a relay (18). 14. A panel connection module as claimed under any of the claims 11 through 13, where the switching element has a co-contributing microprocessor (19).
