Admonishments
Important safety admonishments are used throughout this manual to warn of possible hazards
to persons or equipment. An admonishment identifies a possible hazard and then explains
what may happen if the hazard is not avoided. The admonishments — in the form of Dangers,
Warnings, and Cautions — must be followed at all times. These warnings are flagged by use
of the triangular alert icon (seen below), and are listed in descending order of severity of
injury or damage and likelihood of occurrence.
Danger: Danger is used to indicate the presence of a hazard that will cause severe personal
injury, death, or substantial property damage if the hazard is not avoided.
Warning: Warning is used to indicate the presence of a hazard that can cause severe
personal injury, death, or substantial property damage if the hazard is not avoided.
Caution: Caution is used to indicate the presence of a hazard that will or can cause minor
personal injury or property damage if the hazard is not avoided.
1 GENERAL
This manual describes ADC’s DSX-1 Cross-Aisle Panels and their application in multi-lineup
DSX-1 Systems. This manual also provides complete instructions for installing the Cross-
Aisle Panel in a bay. Procedures for mounting, cabling, and wiring the panels in the bay are
included. The manual includes recommended inter-lineup wiring configurations and
installation instructions. It is recommended that the entire manual be read and understood
before beginning the actual installation.
2 DESCRIPTION
Cross-Aisle Panels are termination fields for tie cables between bay lineups. Use of these
panels eliminates the need for individual overhead cross-connect wires from one lineup to
another. Bay lineups are interconnected by means of tie cables terminated to Cross-Aisle
Panels on each lineup. DSX circuits in separate lineups are then interconnected by installing
cross-connect wires from each DSX circuit to the Cross-Aisle Panel in the same lineup.
A typical Cross-Aisle Panel is shown in Figure 1. Cross-Aisle Panels are available in various
dimensions with either 50, 100, or 200 five-wire terminations. Cross-Aisle Panels are also
available in 50 or 100 six-wire terminations. Specifications for the Cross-Aisle Panels can be
found in ADC catalog number 256, DSX-1 Modules and Panels.
