Divider device, particularly for the main divider of telecommunication installations

Abstract

Abstract A distributing device, particularly for the main distribution frame of telephone systems, is to be created from line modules (3) provided with contact elements (13, 14) and break points (12), with interconnection panels for the subscriber and exchange cables (7 and 9, respectively) which is of simple and compact construction and which enables a corresponding number of line modules (3) to be arranged with good accessibility of the respective interconnection panels. For this purpose, only one line module (3) is in each case provided for one subscriber and one exchange cable (7 and 9, respectively) which exhibits on the line side (18) an interconnection panel with contact elements (13, 14, 15), both for terminating the subscriber and the exchange cables (7 and 9, respectively) and in the interior the break point (12) arranged between the contact elements (13, 14) and switching through the circuit paths, and that the line module (3) is provided both on the line side and on the handling side (18, 23) with plug-in openings (19 and 21, respectively) for plugging in connecting plugs (6 and 5, respectively) on both sides into the break point (12). Thus, only a single line module (3) is needed for each pairing of subscriber cable (7) and exchange cable (9) so that a simple and compact construction is achieved with a low number of line modules (3). Should it become necessary later to change the allocation of a subscriber cable (7) to another exchange cable (9), a special connecting plug (5) is inserted from the handling side (23) into the line module (3) which is provided with terminal connections (32, 33) for patching wires (28). <IMAGE>
