MODULAR CONNECTION SYSTEM FOR TELECOMMUNICATIONS EQUIPMENT

摘要

A modular connection system (10/110) for connecting two pieces of telecommunications equipment (12/112) to prevent relative sliding therebetween and relative separation therebetween in a direction generally perpendicular to the direction of the relative sliding includes an interface structure (18) to be positioned between the two pieces of telecommunications equipment (12/112). The interface structure (18) defines a body (53) with opposed faces (54, 56) and a stud (38) on each face (54/56), the stud (38) defining a stem portion (58) and a flange portion (60) having a larger profile than the stem portion (58). The studs (38) on the opposed faces (54, 56) of the interface structure (18) are inserted into slots (32) of the two pieces of telecommunications equipment (12/112) to be connected and abutted by flexible cantilevers (40, 48/148) of the equipment (12/112) to prevent relative sliding between the equipment (12/112).
