Connector Identification System
ADC‘s innovative TracerLight
®
Connector Identification System offers a quick and accurate method
of identifying the termination point of optical patch cords. Each end of a TracerLight patch cord
features a flashing light source allowing technicians to visually trace individual patch cords from
one end to the other without pulling or affecting the patch cord.
Features:
• Dramaticallyminimizestheriskoftakingthewrongfiberoutofservice
• Improvessystemturnupspeedandaccuracy
• TracerLightpatchcordsmeetallperformancecriteriaofstandardADCpatchcords
• IdeallysuitedforSAN(StorageAreaNetwork)andcross-connectpatching

TracerLight Patch Cord
TracerLight optical patch cords feature a
flashinglightsource(LED)componentneareach
connector end. The TracerLight power source is
inserted with minimal force into the TracerLight
component on one end of the patch cord. This
causestheLEDoneachendtobeginflashing
rapidly. As a result, the distant end of the patch
cordcanbequicklyandeasilyidentifiedwithout
interruption of service.
Availableinanystandardlengthorconnector
style, TracerLight patch cords have the same
functions, features, and stringent environmental
requirements as our standard patch cords.
Optical performance of the patch cords is
