ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a switching assembly for glass fiber cables of the telecommunication and data technology field, and in particular to a glass fiber cable partitioning and terminal rack. The rack 1 includes a frame 3 supported by the rack 1. The frame 3 includes a jumper field 29 for glass fiber cable cores 8, 9 and at least one magazine 16 or 17 provided with slide-in openings 18 for splice cassettes 19. In similar prior art switching assemblies of this type, there is poor accessibility to the incoming and outgoing glass fiber cable cores 8, 9, thereby a high risk of breakage occurs during assembly, in particular when splicing. For avoiding these disadvantages, the invention provides that the frame 3 is supported at the rack 1 pivotally about a vertical axis 26, and that at the frame 3, a jumper field 29 with a patch field 6, 7 for the incoming and outgoing glass fiber cable cores 8,9 is accessible from the front 4 and from the back 5 of the frame 3. At least one magazine 16, 17 is provided, and the splice cassette slide-in openings 18 extend substantially parallel to the back 5 of the frame 3 and substantially vertically to the vertical axis 26 thereof on the opposed side of the frame 3.
