Abstract

The cassette is mounted horizontally or vertically on a support rail and defines a front action face. One of its compartments is used for storing an excess length of optical cable while its other compartment is used for storing an excess length of optical jumper. The cassette includes a fixed first connection for the cable conductor and a removable cross-connection second connection for the jumper, said connections being mounted separately, substantially on the front action face, and being interconnected by an optical lead which is wound down together with the cable conductor and in the same compartment. The cassette is applicable to a distribution frame for telephones or computers.
