The DSX Solution.
Designed with value in mind.
ADC’s DSX products are designed with features that will improve your company's
profitability over alternative DDF technologies. When comparing the DSX and DDF
solutions, it is important to assess the total costs of the equipment over the life of
the product. In the graph below, the initial purchase price of the DDF solution is
significantly less than DSX. However, over the life of the product, the DSX is the
lower cost solution. To accurately assess the total costs of owning equipment, the
following must be evaluated: initial capital investment, operation and maintenance
costs, and customer revenue lost during maintenance activities. This case study
shows how the DSX improved a carrier's operation and helped them become
more competitive and more profitable.

CASE STUDY
Telecommunications service providers face a
fiercely competitive market. Issues and questions
surface regarding expansion, network flexibility,
new service deployment, improved operations
and cost reductions. This competitive market
places heavy demands upon service providers. The
key to success is a seamless network migration
that provides customers with transparent service
evolution. That begins with ADC's Digital Signal
Cross-Connect (DSX) Solutions.
Let's examine one example of how DSX can aid
network evolution and help service providers
remain competitive. A service provider is
planning several new central offices and wants to
increase network flexibility, improve operations,
and reduce costs to meet the demands of the
customer. They have recently issued an RFQ/RFP
for various equipment, including a DDF, for these
new offices.
The network services approximately 3,000,000
subscribers. Key subscribers include large financial
institutions that will not tolerate service outages,
day or night. The current DDF consists of a cross-
connect solution using soldering to wire-wrap
terminal blocks.
This solution has a number of limitations:
•
No simple means of accessing the circuit
for testing or monitoring purposes. Instead,

the wires must be disconnected from the
terminal blocks interrupting the service in order
to conduct testing.
•
No patching capabilities for temporary
rerouting of the circuit. Instead circuits must
be re-jumpered to an alternate path (causing
service interruption) and then re-jumpered
back to the original path (causing service
interruption again).
•
Limited cable management. All cross-
connect circuits must be manually traced to
find the corresponding circuit.
The above limitations have caused the following
conditions:
• Increased operating and maintenance costs
due to labor intensive activities
• Unnecessary circuit downtime impacting
subscribers and reducing revenues
• Lower reliability and quality of service

CASE STUDY
ADC's DSX solution offers the following benefits:
Unparalleled reliability through significantly
reduced service outages.
Monitor ports on the DSX allow for non-intrusive
testing; IN and OUT ports allow for quick and
easy access for patching; future upgrades to new
equipment can be made without interruption of
service.
Significantly reduced operating and
maintenance expenses.
IN, OUT, and Monitor ports allow fast and
easy access to circuits for testing, monitoring
and patching. No longer will wires have to be
disconnected for testing.
Unsurpassed cable management
Cross-connect circuits are identified via the lighted
LEDs (no manual tracing of circuit is needed).
Cable rings, skeleton bays, and other accessories
ensure effective cable management which will
help reduce maintenance costs, facilitate the fast
deployment of new services and technologies,
and accommodate future growth with minimal
impact to ongoing operations.
Flexibility through modularity

The DSX system gives the flexibility to grow as
cards, chassis and bays can be added as needed.
As your vehicle for increasing profitability,
improving operations and raising customer
satisfaction, DSX will:
Decrease annual maintenance costs
Adopting ADC's DSX solution provides the
greatest savings per circuit over the life of the
product.
Reduce/eliminate lost revenue and
lost customers
Facing a deregulated market, you’re vulnerable
to the competition. Service affecting outages
previously tolerated by end-users can now drive
them to your competition.
ADC’s DSX gives you the competitive advantage
by decreasing service outages and helping you
maintain your customer base.
Improve time to ROI
Extraordinary savings allow companies to recover
their investment faster than with any other
alternative DDF solution.
Let us show you how we can improve your
company's competitiveness and profitability.
