OmniReach® NCX-1000

Large Cabinet for FTTN Broadband Service Delivery

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.
