The DSX Advantage

ADC KRONE’S DSX Products are designed with features that will improve your company’s profitability over alternative DDF technologies. ADC KRONE DSX is used to connect one piece of digital telecommunications equipment to another, simplifying equipment connections and providing convenient test access and additional flexibility for rearranging and restoring.

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.

ADC KRONE’s DSX is deployed in: Central Offices, Remote Terminals, Multiplexing of Digital Signals (DS0 to DS1 to DS3 to OC-X) and is installed by customers for central termination point/circuit access/flexibility

The flexibility of DSX allows many different network elements of the same signal rate to be connected together in a non-dedicated arrangement and facilitates rearrangements during the continuous evolution of the communications network.

ADC KRONE'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.

In service test monitoring: on-Intrusive Access using Monitor Port, Identify Circuit Degradation, Check Bit Stream for Error Indicators.

Out of Service Testing: Intrusive Access using Out and/or In Ports, Circuit/System Turn Up, Fault Isolation.

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 KRONE'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 KRONE’s DSX gives you the competitive advantage by decreasing service outages and helping you maintain your customer base.

Improve Break Even Time
Extraordinary savings allow companies to recover their investment faster than with any other alternative DDF solution.

Improve time to ROI
Extraordinary savings allow companies to recover their investment faster than with any other alternative DDF solution.

When a service problem occurs in the network, ADC KRONE’s DSX provides the means of quick circuit isolation, diagnostics and restoration to ensure the highest quality of service to the end user.
