Claim:
A supporting frame for an electrically active module comprising a peripheral structure for receiving an electrically active module, the peripheral structure of which comprises: a framework consisting of tubular uprights, each tubular upright having a hollow interior extending substantially along its entire length and enclosed within the periphery of the tubular upright, the framework delimiting an internal portion of the supporting frame, an internal electrical connector for connection to an electrically active module carried by the framework, said internal electrical connector extending through a peripheral wall of a tubular upright of said framework from the hollow interior of the tubular upright to the internal portion of the supporting frame, a first and a second external electrical connectors extending through peripheral walls of tubular uprights of said framework, such that the first and second external electrical connectors extend from the hollow interiors of said tubular uprights to the outside of the supporting frame, and electrical links for electrically linking the internal electrical connector to the first and second external electrical connectors, the electrical links extending inside the hollow interior of at least one tubular upright of said framework so as to be concealed inside the peripheral structure, and wherein at least one terminal of the first external electrical connector is electrically linked to a terminal of the second external electrical connector, and not electrically linked to said internal electrical connector.
