Under floor fiber optic distribution device

摘要

A fiber optic distribution device (10) for handling fiber optic distribution points, comprising: a housing (15) mountable below floor level; a drawer (16) carrying fiber optic modules to which fiber optic cables can be connected thereby providing fiber optic distribution points, wherein guide rails (18) are attached to said drawer (16) acting together with guide rails (19) attached to said housing (15) thereby allowing a linear movement of the drawer (16) relative to the housing (15) between a first position in which the drawer (16) is positioned inside the housing (15) below floor level and a second position in which the drawer (16) is positioned at least partly outside the housing (15) above floor level; and a locking mechanism (25) being pivotably attached to the drawer (16), wherein the center of gravity of said locking mechanism (25) is positioned offset from a pivoting axis (26) of said locking mechanism (25) so that the locking mechanism (25) automatically locks the drawer (16) in said second position when said drawer (16) is moved from said first position into said second position.
