A patchboard having a plurality of socket blocks (), each of which has a box-like housing () with two end faces () and four side faces () which extend between the end faces (), the two end faces () of the socket blocks () having at least one connection region (). An increased degree of flexibility and ability to adapt to individual user requests is achieved due to each of at least two side faces () of the socket blocks () having at least one latching element for connection to another socket block (), and by at least one termination element () being arranged on at least one side of the patchboard (), the termination element () having a mating latching element on at least one side face () for connecting the termination element to an adjacent socket block ().

Patchboard

A patchboard includes a plurality of honeycomb components which each have a box-shaped housing having two faces and four side surfaces. The two faces each have a connection region. At least two of the side surfaces have a latching element for connecting to another honeycomb component, and at least two of the honeycomb components have different cross-sections. The width and/or height of a honeycomb component having a larger cross-section is a multiple of the width and/or height of a honeycomb component having a smaller cross-section. The number of latching elements of a side surface having a greater width or greater height of a honeycomb component having a larger cross-section is a corresponding multiple of the number of latching elements of a side surface having a smaller width or smaller height of a honeycomb component having a smaller cross-section.
