Benefits
Highly flexible cabinet can be deployed in feeder •
or distribution plant
When utilizing Distribution Intercept (DI), •
fastest to deploy because only straight splicing
to OSP required
Unique look-both-ways test capability without •
lifting wires reduces time for technicians to
isolate network problems
Green activation plugs on DI cross connects •
offer visual indication of working
broadband customers
Preserves investment in existing copper plant •
Provides a consistent interface for technicians •
Distribution Intercept
The heart of the NCX-1000 is ADC’s patented Distribution Intercept (DI) cross-connect using LSA-PLUS ®
Series 2 IDC connectivity.
• Brown Series 2 switching blocks route POTS into the DSLAM and present the combined DSLAM
output of POTS/xDSL signals.
• White Series 2 disconnect blocks provide OSP input and output terminations.
Once the DI is spliced onto either feeder or distribution outside plant cable, broadband service activation
occurs with a simple 2 pair jumper between brown and white blocks and insertion of a green activation
plug. Existing voice service is immediately available upon splicing the DI onto outside plant cable due to
normally closed contacts on Series 2 white blocks.
Alternatively, the NCX-1000 supports a feeder distribution interconnect (FDI) option with separate Series
2 blocks for feeder and distribution circuits. In this 1:2 configuration, broadband service activation
requires two jumpers: one from the feeder block to the DSLAM input block and another from the
DSLAM output block to the distribution block.
The high performance LSA-PLUS Series 2 IDC blocks are far superior to standard 66- and 110-type
IDC blocks. Contacts angled at 45 degrees offer a larger, stronger cross section of wire and a gas tight
seal. Silver-plated contacts resist corrosion much more effectively than standard tin-plated contacts.
Combined with integral clamping ribs for extraordinary grip, LSA-PLUS blocks offer exceptional electrical
performance and contribute to reduced failure frequency rates in the network.
