A METHOD AND AN ARRANGEMENT FOR CONSTRUCTING DISTRIBUTION NETWORKS IN TELECOMMUNICATION SYSTEMS

摘要

The invention relates to a method and to an arrangement for constructing so-called distribution cabinets in the installation of distribution networks in, for instance, a local telecommunication network, these cabinets functioning as branch points for secondary cables entering the cabinets. The inventive cabinet comprises an upstanding frame which forms, at the same time, the back plane of the cabinet and may also form a part of the side walls. In installation, the frame is buried into the ground along a part of its length. The cables concerned are drawn up to the front side of the cabinet and anchored therein. According to the invention, the front of the cabinet is divided in three sections, a bottom section, a middle section and a top section, this latter section being provided with a lid. The location of the cabinet in relation to the surface of the ground is such that the upper edge surface of the bottom front section will always protrude above ground level. The front sections are configured so that when fitting the sections into position an upper section will always lock the nearest underlying section. The top section of the frame sections is provided with locking means. The arrangement according to the invention facilitates installation work and affords protection to parts to which access is not normally required during continuous re-connecting work. Work on the branch points can also be carried out without needing to work on the ground.
