Abstract: A modular cross-connect includes a chassis configured to receive a plurality of cross-connect modules therein and having a front face and a rear cover. A plurality of fixed portions of cross-connect modules are mounted in the chassis such that rear facing connectors of each of the fixed portions extend outward from the rear cover of the chassis. Each fixed portion has a front-facing connector configured to mate with a rear-facing connector of a corresponding removable portion of a cross-connect module. A plurality of reversible slots are formed in the chassis. Each slot is configured to receive a removable portion of a cross-connect module and to align a rear-facing connector of a removable portion of a cross-connect module for connection with a front-facing connector of a fixed portion of a cross-connect module. A plurality of doors are at the front face of the chassis, each door corresponding to one of the plurality of slots and being pivotally mounted for rotation about an axis parallel to a width of the chassis. Insertion of a removable portion of a cross-connect module into one of the plurality of slots causes a corresponding one of the plurality of doors to pivot about the axis to permit entry of the removable portion of the cross-connect module into the chassis.

Abstract translation: 模块化交叉连接包括配置成在其中容纳多个交叉连接模块并具有前表面和后盖的底架。 交叉连接模块的多个固定部分安装在底盘中，使得每个固定部分的背面连接器从底盘的后盖向外延伸。 每个固定部分具有配置成与交叉连接模块的相应的可移除部分的背面连接器配合的前向连接器。 多个可逆槽形成在底盘中。 每个槽被配置成接收交叉连接模块的可移除部分并且将交叉连接模块的可移除部分的后向连接器对准，用于与交叉连接的固定部分的前面连接器 模块。 多个门位于底盘的前表面，每个门对应于多个狭槽中的一个，并且枢转地安装成围绕平行于底盘的宽度的轴线旋转。 交叉连接模块的可移除部分插入到多个狭槽中的一个中使多个门中相应的一个门围绕轴线枢转，以允许交叉连接模块的可移除部分进入底盘。
