Abstract
A patchboard having multiple honeycomb components, each honeycomb component having a box-shaped housing with two end surfaces and four lateral surfaces which extend between the end surfaces. Each of the end surfaces has at least one connection region, and each of the lateral surfaces has at least one connection element for connecting to another honeycomb component. Individual honeycomb components can be removed from the patchboard in that at least one respective elastic latching arm with a latching hook is arranged on at least two mutually adjacent lateral surfaces of the honeycomb components. Each of the latching arms extends in the direction of the length of each lateral surface, and at least one recess is formed at least on the lateral surfaces on which at least one latching arm is formed, the recess being used to access the latching hook of a latching arm from an end face using a tool.
