Abstract

A patch cable management system for an optical waveguide distributing device includes a plurality of plus modules and/or splice modules mounted on a subrack. Each plus module and/or splice module is provided with a plurality of couplings for contact with optical waveguides on the front and rear. An electronic module provided with all the functions and componenty of a conventional backplane can be positioned at any desired location within the optical waveguide distributing device and connected to the plug moduels and/or splice modules to serve for the electronic addressing and localization of the plugged optical-fiber connections.
