Abstract

The invention relates to a connecting block for connecting insulated cable conductors, in particular cable conductors of the telecommunication and data technology, comprising insulation displacement contact elements received in block bodies and arranged in lines. In order to provide a connecting block (1), wherein it is at any time possible to connect or disconnect cable conductors, without the block body (3, 4) impeding the connection of the cable conductors to the other block body (3, 4), at least one block body (3, 4) is provided with an axis of rotation (5), about which the block body can be swung out off the connecting block (1) or a connector arrangement is provided allowing relative movement between the block bodies.
