Abstract
A wall outlet (PMI.sub.1 through PMI.sub.3) for connection of an optical building wiring system is provided, including a receptacle (RI, RI.sub.3) adapted to be fixed in the baseboard (PL) of the wall, into which receptacle optical cords (CO.sub.i, CO.sub.j, CO.sub.1 through CO.sub.4) carrying information to be transmitted to a local area network of a building including a plurality of terminals are inserted, the cords are connected to a terminal associated with the outlet. A removable cover (CI.sub.1 through CI.sub.3) is associated with a removable carrier (SCI.sub.1) of connectors that enables the optical connection of the cords. The cover is capable of occupying a first standby position, in which it closes the front face of the receptacle, and a second active position for use where the plane of the cover forms a dihedron with the front face. The cords exit laterally relative to the receptacle on either side thereof, parallel to the baseboard. First positioning elements (GMI.sub.1 -GMI.sub.2, G.sub.1, EG.sub.2) cooperate with second positioning elements (GI.sub.1 -GI.sub.6, EC.sub. 1 -EC.sub.2, EC.sub.3 -EC.sub.4), belonging to the receptacle, in such a way as to shift the cover from the standby position to the position for use.
