DISTRIBUTING FRAME FOR TELECOMMUNICATIONS CIRCUITS

摘要

The present invention involves a modular distributing frame assembly for distributing telephone circuits. It includes a central office bay member which has a generally vertical hollow member with forward and rear surfaces. The forward surface has a plurality of alternating terminal blocks and interstices. Each terminal block communicates with the rear surface and provides appearances for office cables. The rear surface defines a vertical opening adapted to receive the office cables. The frame also includes an outside plant bay member with a generally vertical hollow member with forward and rear surfaces. The forward surface has a plurality of alternate terminal blocks and interstices. Each of the terminal blocks provides appearances for subscriber cables. The rear surface defines a vertical opening with a plurality of connector blocks mounted therein. The frame also includes a trough member with a vertical partition member positioned adjacent each of the bay members and providing a vertical channel for conducting selected cables to the connector blocks of adjacent bay members and for vertical routing of jumper wires between terminal blocks.
