An optical fiber component that terminates jumper cable fibers in one
housing and provides physical keying for attachment to a duplex
receptacle (D).
A fixed or stationary optical fiber component that provides a keyed
attachment method for a duplex connector (D).
A connection between two ports, established or removed by the
directors and that, when active, appears as one continuous link. See

tion; connectivity
nection.
The capability that allows connections to be established and removed
at any time.
DRAM. Random access memory that resides in a cell comprised of a
capacitor and transistor. DRAM data deteriorates (that is, is dynamic)
unless the capacitor is periodically recharged by the controlling
microprocessor. DRAM is slow, but relatively inexpensive (D). Con-
trast with static random access
