An optical fiber distribution frame including a first cross-connection panel
and
a second cross-connection panel facing each other, and a first support in each
panel for connection modules. Each module on the first panel is adapted to be connected
to one end of an optical fiber of a first group, each module on the second panel
is adapted to be connected to one end of an optical fiber of a second group, and
an optical fiber of the first group is adapted to be connected to an optical fiber
of the second group by a jumper fiber which has two ends respectively received
in a port of one of the modules on the first panel and in a port of one of the
modules on the second panel. The first and second panels each include a second
connection module support, with said second supports cooperating with each other
to form a storage area for jumper fibers that are not in use and awaiting connection.
The jumper fibers are automatically connected or disconnected by a device.
