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.
