Abstract

A distribution connection module which is used in the telecommunication and data technology field includes a housing defining a cavity in which at least one conductor plate is arranged. The housing includes at least one opening in the front side thereof through which a connection module can be inserted. The connection module is connected to at least the conduction plate in the inserted state. At least one support for a lifting tool is arranged on the housing in a lateral manner in relation to the connection module.

Claims (16)

1. A module for telecommunications and data technology, comprising:

a housing including a first housing surface defining at least one opening that is sized and configured to accommodate a connector module, and

at least a first support structure arranged on the first housing surface adjacent the opening, the first support structure including two parallel limbs extending along the first housing surface from first ends adjacent the opening to second ends spaced from the opening, the two parallel limbs also extending outwardly away from the first housing surface, the first support structure also including a base member extending between the parallel limbs and extending outwardly away from the first housing surface, the two parallel limbs extending farther outwardly than the base member from the first housing surface.

2. The module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein at least two support structures, which are each associated with one side of the opening configured to accommodate the connector module, are arranged on the first housing surface.

3. The module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the limbs and the base part of the first support structure form a U-shaped elevation as viewed in a plan view of the first housing surface.

4. The module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the base part is beveled inwards toward the opening defined in the first housing surface.

5. The module as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a connector module formed with at least one lateral opening, the connector module being arranged within the opening defined in the first surface of the housing.

6. The module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the housing includes a second surface arranged opposite the first surface to define an interior, wherein the housing is configured to receive at least one printed circuit board within the interior.

7. The module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a display frame, which can be pivoted, is arranged on the housing.

8. The module as claimed in claim 7 , wherein brackets are arranged laterally on the display frame, an attachment, which engages in each case in a pivoting bearing arranged on the housing, being arranged on the inside of each of said brackets.

9. The module as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the pivoting bearings are in the form of plates, which are perpendicular to the end face, having an opening.

10. The module of claim 6 , wherein the second surface of the housing defines a second opening and wherein the module further comprises a third support structure arranged on the second surface adjacent the second opening.

11. The module of claim 1 , further comprising:

a second support structure arranged on the first surface of the housing, the second support structure including two parallel limbs and a base member extending there between, the two parallel limbs of the second support structure extending farther outwardly from the first end face than the base member of the second support structure.

12. The module of claim 11 , wherein the first support structure is arranged at a first end of the opening defined by the first housing surface and the second support structure is arranged at a second end of the opening.

13. The module of claim 5 , further comprising at least one printed circuit board arranged within the cavity of the housing, the connector module being coupled to the printed circuit board when the connector module is arranged on the first end face of the housing.
