_________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1 GENERAL This section describes ADC’s DSX-3 (DSX-4U-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 Modularity The DSX-3 (DSX-4U-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 2.13 meter (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-4U circuit modules.

ADCP-80-353 • Issue 2 • August 2002 • Section 2: Installation 2.2.2 Operational The DSX-3 (DSX-4U-24) Rear Cross-Connect System must be operated in ambient temperatures and humidities which do not exceed the following: • Temperature: –40° to +65° C (–40° to +149° F).
3.1.1 Positioning and Mounting of New Bay Caution: A crated DSX-3 (DSX-4U-24) Rear Cross-Connect System bay weighs approximately 265 kg (585 pounds). An adequately rated and secured block and tackle or overhead hoist must be used while uncrating, positioning, and securing the bay.
Connect the messenger wire pins of this cross connect to the remaining tracer lamp pin jack on each termination. ADC DSX-4U cross-connect jumpers are available in various lengths from 0.3 to 8.23 m (1 to 27 feet). It is important to select the proper cable length to prevent congestion. Cross-connect jumpers are also available with one connector factory terminated and one connector kit which is terminated on site.
