Mult-Section Cross-Connect Field - AT&T 75 Wiring Manual

Mult-Section Cross-Connect Field

A multi-section cross-connect field consists of two or more sections of connector modules
physically separated. The sections should be equal if possible (eight to ten connector
modules each). A multi-section cross-connect field is always required when the cross-connect
field consists of more than 20 connector modules due to patch cord length limits.
A multi-section cross-connect field can also be required due to the size and shape of the
equipment room (see Figure 2-24). Figure 2-25 shows a typical equipment room floor plan
using a multi-section cross-connect field.
