SYSTEM SPECIFICATIONS ............1-11 1 GENERAL This section describes ADC’s DSX-3 (DSX-4H-24) Rear Cross-Connect System and its applications in large and small offices, digital loop carriers, and customer premises. The system provides for test access, patch, cross-connect, and monitor functions in 75 ohm digital transmission systems operating with a common signal format and bit rate.
2 FEATURES AND BENEFITS 2.1 Modularity The DSX-3 (DSX-4H-24) Rear Cross-Connect System is modular for easy expansion at the user's site, and may provide any number of bi-directional cross-connects in multiples of 120 (up to 240 equipment terminations) per 7 foot bay. This allows for installation of a minimal system configuration to meet the immediate needs of a site, and then expanding it as necessary by adding individual DSX-4H circuit modules.
ADCP-80-314 • Issue 6 • January 2001 • Section 1: Description and Application 3 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION The DSX-3 (DSX-4H-24) Rear Cross-Connect System consists of up to 240 individual DSX-4H circuit modules, two of which are shown schematically in Figure 1-1. Each circuit module accommodates the input and output of one digital equipment unit, and two circuit modules are required for each cross-connect.
