Summary:This invention is directed to a tracing system for jumpers used in an exchange to cross connect optical fibers or wires. The present invention includes a system with an exchange housing a plurality of receptacles. The receptacles receive respective optical fibers or wires at one end, and have respective sockets at the other ends thereof. Importantly, optically-encoded data is placed on the exchange in association with respective receptables or groups of receptacles, to uniquely identify the physical location of the receptacles and distinguish the receptacles from other receptacles housed in the exchange. The optically-encoded data for the receptacles can also indicate the type of jumper and/or length of the jumper to be used with the receptable, as well as the correct routing of the jumper through the exchange, the traffic to be carried thereon and/or the identity of the physical location of the receptacle to be connected to the other end of the jumper. La presente invencion se refiere a un sistema de identificacion para puentes de conexion usados en una central para interconectar fibras opticas o alambres. En la presente invencion se incluye un sistema con una central que aloja una pluralidad de receptáculos. Los receptáculos reciben las fibras opticas o alambres respectivos en un extremo, y tienen enchufes respectivos en los otros extremos de los mismos. De manera importante, los datos codificados opticamente son colocados en la central de asociacion con los receptáculos o grupos de receptáculos respectivos, para identificar unicamente la localizacion física de los receptáculos y distinguir los receptáculos de otros receptáculos alojados en la central. Los datos codificadosopticamente para los receptáculos también pueden indicar el tipo de puente de conexion y/o longitud del puente de conexion a ser usado con el receptáculo, al igual que la ruta correcta del puente de conexion a través de la central, el tráfico a ser transportado sobre él y/o la identidad de la localizacion física del receptáculo a ser conectado al otro extremo del puente de conexion.
