Figure 1. DSX-CAP BEST Cross-Aisle Panel
3 APPLICATION
Cross-Aisle Panels or space for these panels should be provided in every bay of a DSX
multiple-lineup. All wiring is point-to-point with no multiples. ADC recommends one of the
following Cross-Aisle Panel cable designs:
• Direct wiring between like numbered bays as shown in Figure 2.
• Zoned wiring as shown in Figure 3.
Note: The circuit count and numbering system is an example only and may be changed
depending on local practices. These examples show how a unique numbering system can
be used no matter how circuits are provided.
3.1 Direct Cross-Aisle Wiring
In Figure 2, all Cross-Aisle Panels are cabled between the same numbered bays in each lineup.
In this direct wiring design cross-connect wires are run from the Cross-Aisle Panel in the bay
where they originate to the associated Cross-Aisle Panel in the same numbered bay of another
lineup. This means that no horizontal wireway is required in the originating bay. The cross-
connect is then extended to the terminating location, in most cases using a horizontal wireway
in the second lineup.
3.2 Zoned Cross-Aisle Wiring
In Figure 3, Cross-Aisle Panels are cabled between the same bays as in Figure 2, they are also
cabled between like positioned bays in each zone. Figure 3 shows Cross-Aisle Panel cable
routing for a two-zone cross-aisle tie wiring arrangement. This figure shows how the first bays in
each zone are interconnected (all bay 1s and bay 11s). The cabling between other bays is not
shown but is done in the same manner (all bay 2s and bay 12s, all bay 3s and bay 13s, etc.).
