A splice module containing splice point receivers for optical fibre cables and comprising a plurality of patch points each with at least a first part of a detachable connection device for a respective optical fibre pigtail cable, which first part can be connected to a respective second part of the connection device to connect the pigtail cable on the first part to an optical fibre patch cable on the second part, wherein the patch points are arranged next to each other in a direction angled to a local line direction therein, in other words to an optical fibre cable direction in the respective connection direction, and a plurality of guide pegs (7a-12b) are provided for patch cables connected to or to be connected to the second connection device parts at the patch points , which guide pegs are spaced away from the patch points and the first connection device parts, on the side further from the pigtail cables, wherein the patch points and the guide pegs (7a-12b) are mirror-symmetrical in respect of a central plane of symmetry, which guide pegs (7a-12b) are sufficiently spaced from each other so that the patch cables can be routed between them, characterised in that at least a part (8a-d, 11a-12b) of the guide pegs are aligned to a projection of the patch points along the local line direction at the patch points , in other words along the optical fibre cable direction in the respective connection device such that light signals from the pigtail cables and the first connection device parts are shadowed by these guide pegs (8a-d, 11a-12b) if no second connection device parts are attached to the first connection device parts. containing splice point receivers for optical fibre cables and comprising a plurality of patch points each with at least a first part of a detachable connection device for a respective optical fibre pigtail cable, which first part can be connected to a respective second part of the connection device to connect the pigtail cable on the first part to an optical fibre patch cable on the second part, wherein the patch points are arranged next to each other in a direction angled to a local line direction therein, in other words to an optical fibre cable direction in the respective connection direction, and a plurality of guide pegs (7a-12b) are provided for patch cables connected to or to be connected to the second connection device parts at the patch points , which guide pegs are spaced away from the patch points and the first connection device parts, on the side further from the pigtail cables, wherein the patch points and the guide pegs (7a-12b) are mirror-symmetrical in respect of a central plane of symmetry, which guide pegs (7a-12b) are sufficiently spaced from each other so that the patch cables can be routed between them, characterised in that at least a part (8a-d, 11a-12b) of the guide pegs are aligned to a projection of the patch points along the local line direction at the patch points , in other words along the optical fibre cable direction in the respective connection device such that light signals from the pigtail cables and the first connection device parts are shadowed by these guide pegs (8a-d, 11a-12b) if no second connection device parts are attached to the first connection device parts. <EOS>
