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.
The TracerLight power source is inserted into the TracerLight component on one end of the patch
cord. This causes the LED on each end to begin flashing rapidly. As a result, the distant end of the
patch cord can be quickly and easily identified without interruption of service.
The compact power source is composed of a lightweight, plastic flashlight body featuring two AA
batteries and a printed circuit board (PCB). It provides approximately 80 hours of continuous service
and features 1-hour auto-off. The end of battery life is indicated by a slowing of the blink rate.
Features:
• Dramatically minimizes the risk of taking the wrong fiber out of service
Spec Sheet
• Improves system turn-up speed and accuracy
• TracerLight patch cords meet all optical performance criteria of standard ADC patch cords
• Ideally suited for Central Offices, Data Centers and cross-connect patching
• 72% reduction in jumper turn-up times and 13% reduction in accidental down-time.
TracerLight pays for itself again and again
• Available in any standard length or connector style
• Same functions, features and stringent environmental standards as ADC's standard patch cords
• Installed in the same manner as ADC's standard patch cords
• Easily pulled through ADC's FiberGuide
