| 1. A glass-fiber coupler module, comprising:
a cassette mount, which is connected to a front panel that is substantially perpendicular to the cassette mount, the cassette
mount being assigned a coupler, by means of which the signals of at least one incoming glass fiber are distributed over at
least two outgoing glass fibers, a first group of couplings and a second group of couplings, the second group of couplings
being arranged on the front panel, glass fibers from the first group of couplings being passed into the coupler and the outgoing
glass fibers from the coupler being connected to the second group of couplings, wherein the first group of couplings is arranged
on a mounting panel, the mounting panel being arranged to pivot on the cassette mount about a pivot axis; wherein the pivot
axis of the mounting panel is substantially parallel to a plug-in direction of the first group of couplings.
