HANDLING DEVICE FOR CONNECTIONS BETWEEN DATA TRANSMISSION CABLES

摘要

A handling device (10) for connections between data transmission cables, especially for fiber optic connections between fiber optic cables, comprising: a fixture (11); a plurality of adapter modules (12) mountable side by side in a first direction on the fixture (11), whereby the or each adapter module (12) is individually removable from the fixture (11) and individually mountable on the fixture (11), whereby the or each adapter module (12) comprises a basic body (17) for holding at least one adapter (14), and whereby the or each adapter (14) is configured to hold connectors and connect data transmission cables at a rear side and a front side of the respective adapter module (12), whereby the basic body (17) of the or each adapter module (12) has holding legs (21, 22) being pivotably and flexibly connected in a middle portion (23) of the same, whereby in a first, manually un-actuated position of the holding legs (21, 22) the same run in general parallel to each other so that the respective adapter module (12) can be held on the fixture (11) in the first position, and whereby in a second, manually actuated position of the holding legs (21, 22) the same are pivoted with respect to each other so that the respective adapter module (12) can be mounted on the fixture (11) or removed from the fixture (11) in the second position.
