More Information
Summary:The present invention includes a system for tracing jumpers used in an exchange to cross-connect optical fibers or wires served by the exchange. The system includes an exchange housing receptacles with optically-encoded data associated with each receptacle or a group of receptacles. The optically-encoded data for a receptacle(s) uniquely identifies the physical location of the receptacle from any other receptacle in the exchange. Also, this optically-encoded data can include the type of jumper and/or length of the jumperto be used with the receptacle, the correct routing of the jumper through the exchange, the traffic to be carried on the jumperand/or the identity of the physical location of the receptacle to be connected to the other end of the jumper. Likewise, the jumpers each have optically-encoded data formed thereon that uniquelyidentifies the jumper or jumper end and distinguishes the jumper from any other jumper used in the exchange. The optically-encoded data associated with the jumper can include th
