equipment B is temporarily patched to
equipment
C.
As
seen in
numerous testing and patch-around configurations are possible, all of
which
are established permanently or temporarily at the centrally located cross-connect system.

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Front
and rear views of a typical fully configured DSX-3 (DSX-4U-24) Rear Cross-Connect
System
bay are shown in
and
.
The bay is comprised of up to ten module
chassis,
each capable of holding up to 24 DSX-4U circuit modules. A fuse panel located near
the
top of the bay supplies power to each chassis. Provision for an AC outlet is located at the
bottom
of the bay. Rings and brackets at the back of the bay allow for routing and securing
equipment
in/out cables and cross-connect jumpers.
Equipment
and cross-connect cabling to the cross-connect system bay is by means of BNC
coaxial
connectors located on the back of the circuit module. Each circuit module also has
midsize
coaxial jacks on the front for patching and monitoring.
