fibre optic multi distribution frame / fibre optic MDF
Fibre optic signals can not be distributed like normal electrical signals, light not being either a pure electrical wave form or particles. We don't need to discuss the properties of light here. It is simply incorrect in English to say a distribution panel for fibre optic signals. Distribution panels are passive, whereby a distribution frame is active, and fibre optic signals have to be actively distributed. They literally have to be received and re-transmitted. There is a good write up in wikipedia on fibre optics. Especially as the German (HVt) in the context of the question, is referring to the distribution of fibre optic signals.

Comment: "Thanks very much for putting me on the right track. As this was a rush translation your answer was the only one available at the time. I also found Main Distribution Frame (MDF) to translate Hauptverteiler in my Langenscheidts Fachwörterbuch Technik. "
