Abstract

A modular plug-type connection system for active communication components, characterized in that a front panel (1) can accommodate a plurality of jacks (2) and then guides said jacks through an electrical or fibreoptic connection (3) onto a respective plug (7), which electrical or fibreoptic connection connects all of the plugs (7) by a common module-unlocking means (5), with the result that all plug-unlocking means (6) used can be opened simultaneously. The plug-type connection system can furthermore be rotated through 180° by means of the guide rail (4) in order thus to couple said plug-type connection system to a further plug-type connection system and thus to meet the requirements for multi-row assemblies on active communication components. Fig. 1 shows, by way of example, the implementation of such a plug-type connection in the embodiment with the jack (2) in the form of an RJ45 coupling and the plug (7) in the form of an RJ45 plug.

Verbindung für jedes Endgerät einzeln am aktiven Kommunikationsknoten abschließt. Eine Aggregation der abschließenden Steckverbindungen erfolgt in der Regel nicht. Fällt ein aktiver Kommunikationsknoten aus, gehört getauscht oä. hat dies immer zur Folge, dass sämtliche Completing the connection for each terminal individually at the active communication node. An aggregation of the final connectors is usually not. If an active communication node fails, it may be exchanged. This always has the consequence that all
Steckverbindungen dokumentiert, einzeln abgenommen und nach dem Gerätetausch wieder einzeln angeschlossen, und überprüft werden müssen. Plug connections documented, individually removed and after the device exchange again individually connected, and must be checked.

Die einzelnen Buchsen 2, werden an einer Frontblende 1 montiert, und entsprechend der zusammengefassten Baugruppen der jeweiligen Kommunikationskomponente angeordnet.  The data center / communication node should be structured as well as cleanly wired in order to be able to pull cables "in the right place", in this case cables, as quickly and efficiently as possible in the case of expansions, maintenance or error cases The individual sockets 2 are mounted on a front panel 1 and arranged according to the combined modules of the respective communication component.
Buchse und Stecker sind idealerweise exakt gegenüber und entsprechen somit einer Verlängerung des jeweiligen Steckertyps. Mittels der Socket and plug are ideally opposite each other and thus correspond to an extension of the respective plug type. By means of
Führungsschien 4 können zwei Module, durch Drehung eines Moduls um 180° ineinander geschoben werden, um bei doppelreihiger Ausführung der Baugruppen ebenfalls passgenau zu terminieren. Die je nach Ausführung elektrische bzw. faseroptische Verbindung 3 stellt den Übergang zwischen Modul und Stecker her. Ein etwaiges Einspeisen von Mess-/Steuer- bzw. Regelgeräten wäre hier ebenfalls denkbar. Die Modul Entriegelung 5 kann verschieden gestaltet werden bzw. je nach Steckertyp variiert werden. Hier ist es nötig von Fall zu Fall für die optimale Ausführung zu Guide rails 4, two modules, by rotation of a module can be inserted into each other by 180 ° in order to terminate in double-row design of the modules also accurately. Depending on the version electrical or fiber optic connection 3 provides the transition between the module and the connector. A possible feeding of measuring / control or regulating devices would also be conceivable here. The module unlocking 5 can be designed differently or be varied depending on the type of plug. Here it is necessary from case to case for the optimal execution
