Abstract

The invention relates to a glass-fiber coupler module, comprising a cassette mount, which is connected to a front panel, the cassette mount being assigned a coupler, by means of which the signals of at least one incoming glass fiber are distributed over at least two outgoing glass fibers, a first group of couplings and a second group of couplings, the second group of couplings being arranged on the front panel, glass fibers from the first group of couplings being passed into the coupler and the outgoing glass fibers from the coupler being connected to the second group of couplings, the first group of couplings being arranged on a mounting panel, and the mounting panel being arranged on the cassette mount such that it can pivot.
