Chapter 2: Applications
This section covers fundamental cross-connection and interconnection applications using ADF XI bays. Other
applications are possible. Some applications may be better suited for the ADF IC bays, depending on access
to routing and density of cabling.

Figure 17 - Cross-Connect - IFC to NEs
Fundamentals of this cross-connect are as follows:
• IFC (IntraFacility Cable) modules are available for either the right or left side of the
Main ADF bay.
• IFC comes in from ladder racking (or from floor) and is broken out and presented to the back
side of IFC modules.
• NE (Network Element) modules should be installed opposite associated IFC modules.
• InterBay Storage Panel (ISP) is required with NE modules.
• Patch cords from NE’s come into ISP from CMS (Cable Management System) and are
presented to the back side of NE modules; the excess is stored on the ISP.
• 4.5 m patch cords cross-connect IFC fiber to NE fiber, with cable stored on the Main ADF bay.
