Abstract
A jumper assembly for a DSX system is disclosed herein. The jumper assembly includes a messenger wire for electrically connecting tracer lamp circuits corresponding to two cross-connected DSX modules. The jumper assembly also includes tracer lamp devices carried with the messenger wire.
Claims17
A device for electrically connecting tracer lamp circuits corresponding to cross-connected DSX modules, the tracer lamp circuits of the DSX modules including pin jacks, the device comprising:
- a wire;
- lamp assemblies carried with the wire that illuminate when electrical current passes through the wire;
- and
- conductive pins positioned at opposite ends of the device for connecting the wire to the pin jacks.
1 more element
A DSX system comprising:
- first and second DSX devices cross-connected together by cross-connect cables, the DSX devices each including a front end and a rear end, the DSX devices also each including a tracer lamp circuit including pin jacks, a first tracer lamp, and a switch for activating the first tracer lamp, the first tracer lamps being positioned at the front ends of the DSX devices;
- a messenger wire that electrically connects the tracer lamp circuits of the DSX devices, the messenger wire having conductive pins at opposite ends for connecting the wire to the pin jacks of the DSX devices;
- and
- second tracer lamps mourned to the messenger wire, the second tracer lamps being visible from the rear ends of the DSX devices, the second tracer lamps being offset from the conductive pins, and the second tracer lamps being activated by the switches of the tracer lamp circuits of the DSX devices.
