Abstract

Ce panneau de raccordement est destiné à soutenir plusieurs connecteurs de fibres optiques, lesquels sont mobiles pour être mis, d'une première position dans laquelle ils sont disposés de manière compacte, dans une seconde position dans laquelle ils sont plus espacés les uns des autres, leur accès étant ainsi facilité.
