Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Verteilereinrichtung für ankommen­ de und abgehende Lichtwellenleiter.The invention relates to a distribution device for arriving de and outgoing fiber optic cables.

Bekannte Verteilereinrichtungen für Lichtwellenleiter erfordern umfangreiche und platzaufwendige Konstruktionen. So müssen die ankommenden und abgehenden Lichtwellenleiterkabel mit Lichtwel­ lenleiter-Endstücken, welche werksseitig mit Steckern versehen sind, aufwendig an Ort und Stelle verschweißt werden. Dies er­ fordert nicht nur einen hohen Arbeitsaufwand bei der Montage, sondern erfordert aufgrund der großen Anzahl von Spleißkassetten für die einzelnen Fusionsspleiße einen enormen Platzbedarf.Known distribution devices for optical fibers require extensive and space-consuming constructions. So they have to Incoming and outgoing fiber optic cable with Lichtwel conductor end pieces, which are provided with plugs at the factory are laboriously welded in place. This he not only demands a lot of work during assembly, but requires due to the large number of splice trays an enormous space requirement for the individual fusion splices.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, eine Verteilerein­ richtung der eingangs genannten Art anzugeben, die am Montageort einfach aufzubauen ist und dabei nur einen geringen Platzbedarf benötigt.The object of the present invention is to be a distributor to indicate the direction of the type mentioned at the installation site is easy to set up and takes up little space needed.

Diese Aufgabe wird bei einer Verteilereinrichtung für ankommen­ de und abgehende Lichtwellenleiter dadurch gelöst, daß die an­ kommenden und abgehenden Lichtwellenleiterkabel in Steckerkas­ setten enden, daß die Steckerkassetten an ihren Frontseiten mit Durchführungskupplungen versehen sind, und daß die Enden der ein­ zelnen Fasern der Lichtwellenleitekabel jeweils mit einem Licht­ wellenleiterstecker verbunden sind, wobei dieser Lichtwellenlei­ terstecker derart aufgebaut ist, daß in seinem Steckergehäuse ein Fingerspleiß fest angeordnet ist, dessen eine Anschlußseite aus dem Steckergehäuse herausragt und dessen andere innere An­ schlußseite über eine Lichtwellenleiterfaser mit dem Steckkon­ takt des Lichtwellenleitersteckers fest verbunden ist.This task will arrive at a distribution facility for de and outgoing optical waveguide solved in that the Incoming and outgoing fiber optic cables in connector cases end that the connector cassettes on their front sides Feedthrough couplings are provided and that the ends of the one individual fibers of the optical fiber cables each with a light waveguide plug are connected, this Lichtwellenlei terstecker is constructed such that in its connector housing a finger splice is firmly arranged, one connection side protrudes from the connector housing and its other inner connection end over an optical fiber with the plug clock of the fiber optic connector is firmly connected.

Da man mit einem Lichtwellenleiter-Fingerspleiß Lichtwellenlei­ ter ohne Werkzeug und Fremdenergie einfach und zeitsparend ver­ binden kann, müssen bei der erfindungsgemäßen Verteilereinrich­ tung die ankommenden und abgehenden Kabel lediglich mit den freien Anschlußseiten der Fingerspleiße verbunden werden. Auf diese Weise ist ein einfacher Anschluß der Lichtwellenleiterka­ bel möglich.Because you can use a fiber optic finger splice to simple and time-saving without tools and external energy  can bind, must in the distributor device according to the invention the incoming and outgoing cables only with the free connection sides of the finger splice can be connected. On this is a simple connection of the optical waveguide possible.

Weiterhin benötigt die Verteilereinrichtung gemäß der vorlie­ genden Erfindung einen geringen Platzbedarf, da die eigentli­ chen Spleißkassetten wegfallen. Durch die Aufteilung der er­ findungsgemäßen Verteilereinrichtung auf mehrere Steckerkasset­ ten ist ein dem Leitungsbedarf entsprechender Aufbau möglich.Furthermore, the distribution device required in accordance with Invention a small footprint, since the real Chen splice cassettes are omitted. By dividing the he distribution device according to the invention on several plug cassette A structure corresponding to the line requirements is possible.

Eine zweckmäßige Ausgestaltung der erfindungsgemäßen Vertei­ lereinrichtung ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß die einzelnen Steckkassetten als geschlossene Gehäuse mit einer verriegelbaren Schublade ausgebildet sind. Auf diese Weise wird ein mißbräuch­ licher Zugriff auf die Spleißstellen verhindert, da per Schlüs­ sel eine definierte Zugangsberechtigung des entsprechenden Per­ sonals ermöglicht wird.An expedient embodiment of the distributor according to the invention lereinrichtung is characterized in that the individual Plug-in cartridges as a closed housing with a lockable Drawer are formed. In this way it becomes an abuse Access to the splice points prevented, as by key sel a defined access authorization of the corresponding person is made possible.

Eine andere zweckmäßige Ausgestaltung der Verteilereinrichtung gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht darin, daß innerhalb der Steckerkassetten Ablagevorrichtungen für die einzelnen Licht­ wellenleiter-Fasern vorgesehen sind. So sind auch nachträglich Belegungsänderungen der ankommenden und abgehenden Lichtwellen­ leiter möglich.Another expedient configuration of the distribution device according to the present invention is that within of the plug cassettes storage devices for the individual light waveguide fibers are provided. So are also retrospectively Occupancy changes of the incoming and outgoing light waves leader possible.

Im folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand eines in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels näher beschrieben.In the following the invention based on one in the drawing illustrated embodiment described in more detail.

Fig. 1 einen senkrechten Längsschnitt durch eine Steckerkas­ sette einer Verteilereinrichtung gemäß der Erfindung, und Fig. 1 is a vertical longitudinal section through a Steckerkas set of a distribution device according to the invention, and

Fig. 2 einen waagrechten Längsschnitt durch eine Steckerkas­ sette gemäß Fig. 1. Fig. 2 shows a horizontal longitudinal section through a Steckerkas sette of FIG. 1.

In der Zeichnung ist lediglich eine einzige Steckerkassette 1 einer Verteilereinrichtung gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung ge­ zeigt. Die eigentliche Verteilereinrichtung kann jedoch aus be­ liebig vielen Steckerkassetten 1 bestehen, die entweder überein­ ander oder nebeneinander angeordnet sind.In the drawing, only a single connector cartridge 1 of a distribution device according to the present invention is shown ge. The actual distribution device can, however, consist of any number of plug cassettes 1 , which are either one above the other or arranged side by side.

Die ankommenden und abgehenden Lichtwellenleiterkabel 2 werden auf der Rückseite der Steckerkassetten 1 durch Durchführungen 13 und über Zugentlastungen 12 ins Innere der Steckerkassetten ge­ führt. Dabei ist die Größe der Steckerkassetten u. a. abhängig von der Faseranzahl je Lichtwellenleiterkabel. Die einzelnen Lichtwellenleiterfasern 4 der Lichtwellenleiterkabel 2 werden in einer bestimmten Länge innerhalb der Ablagevorrichtung 10 abge­ legt, nach dem das Ende der Lichtwellenleiterfaser 4 mit dem Lichtwellenleiterstecker 5 verbunden worden ist.The incoming and outgoing fiber optic cables 2 are on the back of the connector cartridges 1 through bushings 13 and 12 strain reliefs leads into the interior of the connector cartridges. The size of the connector cassettes depends, among other things, on the number of fibers per fiber optic cable. The individual optical fibers 4 of the optical fiber cables 2 are abge in a certain length within the storage device 10 , after the end of the optical fiber 4 has been connected to the optical fiber connector 5 .

Der Lichtwellenleiterstecker 5 besteht im wesentlichen aus dem Steckergehäuse 7 und dem Steckkontakt 8. Mit dem Gehäuse 7 des Lichtwellenleitersteckers 5 ist ein Fingerspleiß 6 fest verbun­ den. Mit einem Fingerspleiß kann man Lichtwellenleiter ohne Werkzeug und Fremdenergie einfach und zeitsparend montieren. Entsprechend dem Durchmesser der Fasern sind die Klemmstücke entsprechend abgestuft. Im Gegensatz zu vielen anderen mecha­ nischen Verbindern erübrigt sich ein besonderes Präparieren der Faserenden. Es entfallen auch das Verkleben sowie das auf­ wendige Schleifen der Endflächen vollständig. Die Faserenden werden mit einem Trenngerät auf Länge geschnitten und in den bereits werksseitig mit Immersion gefüllten Fingerspleiß ein­ geführt. Nach dem Zuschieben der Klemmringe ergibt sich eine dauerhafte kraftschlüssige Verbindung der beiden Lichtwellenlei­ ter.The optical fiber connector 5 consists essentially of the connector housing 7 and the plug contact 8 . With the housing 7 of the optical fiber connector 5 , a finger splice 6 is firmly connected. With a finger splice, fiber optic cables can be easily and quickly installed without tools and external energy. The clamping pieces are graded according to the diameter of the fibers. In contrast to many other mechanical connectors, special preparation of the fiber ends is not necessary. There is also no need for gluing or agile sanding of the end faces. The fiber ends are cut to length using a separator and inserted into the finger splice, which is already filled with immersion at the factory. After closing the clamping rings, there is a permanent positive connection between the two Lichtwellenlei ter.

Bei dem hier dargestellten Lichtwellenleiterstecker 5 wird nun die innen liegende Anschlußseite des Fingerspleißes 6 mit einem Lichtwellenleiterende bestückt, wobei das andere Ende die­ ses Lichtwellenleiterendes mit dem Steckkontakt 8 bereits werks­ seitig fest verschweißt worden ist. Aufgrund des integrierten Fingerspleißes 6 ist es also möglich den Lichtwellenleiterstek­ ker vor Ort ohne großen Aufwand leicht mit einem der ankommen­ den bzw abgehenden Lichtwellenleiterfasern zu verbinden.In the optical fiber connector 5 shown here, the inner connection side of the finger splice 6 is now equipped with an optical fiber end, the other end of this optical fiber end having been factory-welded to the plug contact 8 . Because of the integrated finger splice 6 , it is therefore possible to easily connect the optical waveguide plug on site with little effort to one of the incoming or outgoing optical waveguide fibers.

In die Frontplatte der Steckerkassetten 1 sind Durchführungskupp­ lungen 3 eingelassen. Diese Durchführungskupplungen 3 werden von innen mit den Lichtwellenleitersteckern 5 bestückt. Außerhalb der Steckerkassetten 1 werden die einzelnen Durchführungskupp­ lungen 3 mittels entsprechend aufgebauten Rangierleitungen - hier nicht dargestellt - entsprechend den Verteilungswünschen miteinander verbunden.In the front panel of the connector cassettes 1 are 3 bushings are inserted. These feed-through couplings 3 are equipped with the optical fiber connectors 5 from the inside. Outside the connector cassettes 1 , the individual feedthrough couplings 3 are connected to one another in accordance with the distribution requirements by means of correspondingly constructed patch cords - not shown here.

Um einen mißbräuchlichen Zugriff zu den einzelnen Spleißstellen zu verhindern, sind die einzelnen Steckerkassetten 1 als geschlos­ sene Gehäuse mit einer verriegelbaren Schublade 9 ausgebildet. Hierzu sind die Schubladen 9 mit in der Zeichnung angedeuteten Verriegelungen 11 versehen. Diese Verriegelungen 11 können mit­ tels eines passenden Schlüssels entriegelt werden.In order to prevent improper access to the individual splice points, the individual plug cassettes 1 are designed as a closed housing with a lockable drawer 9 . For this purpose, the drawers 9 are provided with locks 11 indicated in the drawing. These locks 11 can be unlocked by means of a suitable key.
