Assembly device for line and plug connector elements
View Patent ↗The invention relates to a mounting apparatus for electrical line and plug-in connecting elements for telecommunications and data technology, having at least one front panel ( 5 ), which has a supporting structure ( 12 ) with side supporting elements ( 14 ) and at least one panel ( 11 ) with a plurality of receptacles ( 10 ) for connecting sockets, with the front panel ( 5 ) being formed completely from plastic.
1. A mounting apparatus for electrical line and plug-in connecting elements for telecommunications and data technology, the mounting apparatus comprising:
at least one front panel including a front face, a supporting structure that extends rearwardly from the front face, and side supporting elements that are configured to couple the front panel to a frame, the front panel defining a plurality of receptacles for connecting sockets positioned in an upper row and a lower row, wherein the front panel is formed completely from plastic;
wherein a distance between each adjacent pair of receptacles in each row is at least as great as a width of each individual receptacle of the pair, and wherein the receptacles of the upper row align with the receptacles of the lower row.
2. The mounting apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising at least one cable holding element composed of plastic for supporting at least one cable, the cable holding element being fitted to a rear face of the front panel.
3. The mounting apparatus as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the cable holding element is attached to the front panel by being latched in at least one snap-action connection.
4. The mounting apparatus as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the cable holding element and the front panel engage one another in an area of mutual engagement, wherein at least one hinge is provided in the area of the mutual engagement, wherein the cable holding element is configured to be pivoted about the hinge with respect to the front panel.
5. The mounting apparatus as claimed in claim 2 , wherein at least one cable holder composed of plastic is provided on the cable holding element to form defined positioning of a plurality of cables.
6. The mounting apparatus as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the cable holding element and the cable holder are formed integrally.
7. The mounting apparatus as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the cable holding element and the cable holder are formed from two or more parts.
8. The mounting apparatus as claimed in claim 5 , wherein a plurality of curved holding elements are provided on the cable holder.
9. The mounting apparatus as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the curved holding elements are arranged alongside one another on the cable holder.
10. The mounting apparatus as claimed in claim 8 , wherein each of the curved holding elements is open on one side.
11. The mounting apparatus as claimed in claim 8 , wherein each of the curved holding elements is designed to be resiliently elastic to enable defined positioning of at least one cable to the cable holder.
12. The mounting apparatus as claimed in claim 8 , wherein each of the curved holding elements is configured to attach at least one of the cables to the cable holder.
13. The mounting apparatus as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the at least one cable holding element is configured to attach the cable to the mounting apparatus.
