Claim:
A distribution device for handling data conductors or junctions between data conductors, comprising: a housing comprising a housing lower part and a removable cover-like housing upper part pivotably attached to the housing lower part; assemblies in the housing for connecting and/or storing data conductors; and a holder on the cover-like housing upper part, wherein the holder protrudes with respect to an upper side wall of the housing lower part, and wherein the holder allows the cover-like housing upper part to pivot upwards between a closed state and an open state of the housing; wherein the holder allows the housing upper part to be pivoted upwards with respect to the housing lower part about a pivot axis defined by the holder so as to move the housing from the closed state into a partially open state having a defined pivoting angle, such that the holder maintains the housing upper part at the defined pivoting angle with respect to the housing lower part when the housing upper part is pivoted upwards and at the partially open state.
