Abstract

A modular communication system (21), particularly for interior space-dividing wall panels (12) which are serially-connected together to define a plurality of adjacent workstations (16). The modular communication system (21) comprises a plurality of elongate main distribution modules (22) which serially couple together and extend throughout a raceway (14) defined by said panels (12), each said main distribution modules (22) including an elongate intermediate cable (31) having a connector unit (32) at each end thereof, said cable defining a plurality of multi-conductor telecommunication links extending longitudinally therethrough and terminating at the connector units (32). The interconnected main distribution modules (22) define one or more access ports which each access at least one, but less than all, of the telecommunication links which extend throughout the serially-connected distribution modules (22). A tap-off module (23) having a tap-off part engageable with one of the access ports for connection with the telecommunication link has a plurality of contacts which are engageable with contacts provided at the access port and a cable connected to the contacts of the tap-off part and projecting away therefrom and being provided with an outlet connected to the other end thereof.
