Communication system having a self-supporting wiring backplane

摘要

A communication system including a switching system and a main distributor connected thereto via internal central office lines for the connection of the subscriber network lines is provided. To provide a simple and cost-beneficial communication system, a self-supporting wiring backplane is used having an upper end where the individual system assemblies of the switching system can be hooked and plugged by a downward swivel connection. The terminal strips (splitting strips) of the internal side of the main distributor have exchange-side terminals pressed in on the same wiring backplane under the system assemblies.
