Admonishments

Important safety admonishments are used throughout this manual to warn of possible hazards to
persons or equipment. An admonishment identifies a possible hazard and then explains what may
happen if the hazard is not avoided. The admonishments — in the form of Dangers, Warnings,
and Cautions — must be followed at all times. These warnings are flagged by use of the
triangular alert icon (seen below), and are listed in descending order of severity of injury or
damage and likelihood of occurrence.
Danger: Danger is used to indicate the presence of a hazard that will cause severe
personal injury, death, or substantial property damage if the hazard is not avoided.
Warning: Warning is used to indicate the presence of a hazard that can cause severe
personal injury, death, or substantial property damage if the hazard is not avoided.
Caution: Caution is used to indicate the presence of a hazard that will or can cause
minor personal injury or property damage if the hazard is not avoided.

1. GENERAL

1.01 This manual describes the ADC DSX-1 and DSX-1C Interbay Patch Module and its use
in multiple bay single lineups, and in multiple bay multiple lineups DSX Systems. The Module is
described both physically and functionally, and simplified schematic diagrams are included to
show interconnecting cabling and circuit patching operations. Installation instructions are also
provided showing cabling interconnections to termination blocks on each Module.

2. DESCRIPTION

2.01 Interbay Patch Modules in DSX-1 Bay Systems provide the capability to patch between
two DSX circuit locations that are several bays or lineups apart without using long patch cords.
A circuit patch is set up in two steps; 1) from the originating DSX termination and to a patch
jack circuit on the nearest Interbay Patch Module; 2) from the terminating DSX termination to
the corresponding patch jack circuit on a nearby Interbay Patch module.
2.02 A typical 28 circuit Bantam Jack Interbay Patch Module (rear view) is shown in
The Interbay Patch Module is available in various dimensions with either 25 or 28 circuits using
Bantam jacks. A LED or lamp provides a circuit busy or in use indicator. The Interbay Patch
Modules have terminal blocks on the back of the Module for interconnect cabling between
Modules.
