A graphics overlay for displaying the location of a traced connector port in a telecommunications patching system. The graphics overlay is the visible portion of a tracing interface module that is viewed by a technician performing a patch cord tracing procedure. The graphics overlay serves three primary functions. The first function is to provide is a visual indication that can inform a technician as to the location of a patch cord in a telecommunications patch system. The second function is to provide a trace button so that a technician can initiate a trace from any patch cord connect port in the patching system. Lastly, the third function is to identify the patch cord at each connector port in the telecommunications patching system. The present invention provides different embodiments of a graphics overlay that all embody the necessary functions yet are uniquely adapted for use in a telecommunications patch cord tracing system.
A patch cord tracing module assembly adapted to be connected to a patch panel in a telecommunications closet, said assembly comprising:
In a telecommunications patching system having a plurality of connector ports disposed on at least one patch panel, a system for tracing patch cords from one connector port to another, comprising:
A telecommunications patching system having point-to-point tracing capabilities, comprising:
