The fiber cross-connect cord is used to connect between two PViQ™ Connectivity fiber 
panels/trays. These cords consist of a standard PViQ™ fiber patch cord plug on both 
ends. The Fiber LC cross-connect cords are also available with single-mode or 
multimode fiber. 

 

Figure 12: Fiber Cross-connect Patch Cord 

 

Interconnect Patch Cords 

The PViQ™ Connectivity System utilizes the following styles of Interconnect Patch 
Cords to support connectivity between non- PViQ™ Connectivity enabled ports 
(switches with shielded jacks, servers with shielded jacks, etc.) and PViQ™ 
Connectivity Panels: 

1. 

PViQ™ Connectivity Interconnect Patch Cords (I-Cord) 

2. 

PViQ™ Connectivity Enhanced Interconnect Patch Cords (Enhanced I-Cord) 

3. 

PViQ™ Connectivity Fiber Interconnect Patch Cords (Fiber I-Cord) 

NOTE: Advanced provisioning features of the Copper PViQ Connectivity Interconnect 
Patch Cords (I-Cords) and Enhanced PViQ Patch Cords (Enhanced I-Cords) are only 
available with compatible CDP and LLDP enabled switches when using the 
SmartZone Assent and Connectivity Software Modules.  SmartZone Asset and 
Connectivity Software Modules are compatible with most current major network 
equipment manufacturer's switch and router products. For questions about the 
compatibility of your specific hardware, please contact Panduit Technical Support.
