Dsx Bay Zoning And Cross-Connect Guidelines - ADC DSX-1 Quick Start Manual

3. DSX BAY ZONING AND CROSS-CONNECT GUIDELINES

A. Cross-Connect Procedures
3.01 Figure 1 is a lineup of multiple DSX bays.
Each bay is zoned in quadrants to provide the most
efficient cross-connect scheme, maximizing the use
of the vertical and horizontal wireways. When a
cross-connect assignment is required, the following
must be considered:
• If the originating equipment is in zone one or
two, the cross-connect jumper(s) must route to
the adjacent bay via the upper wireway.
• If the originating equipment is in zone three or
four, the cross-connect jumper(s) must route to
the adjacent bay via the lower wireway.
• Cross-connect jumper(s) must always be routed
through vertical and horizontal wireways when
crossing zones, except when cross-connecting
within the same DSX panel.
• When cross-connecting within the same bay from
zone one (upper left) to zone three (lower left),
the cross-connect jumper(s) must transition
through the vertical wireway only.
