<p>A cable management system provides routing of wired services between service lines (16) and user lines (18) under computer control. Each service line (16) enters the cable management system at a service termination unit card (22) which also holds a portion of a crosspoint switch matrix. Each user line (18) enters the cable management system at a line termination unit card (20). The service termination unit cards (22) are all mounted to a first side of a centerplane board (24) as a vertically oriented stacked array and the line termination unit cards (20) are mounted to tne other side of the centerplane board (24) as a horizontally oriented stacked array. Pins extending through the centerplane board (24) interconnect the cards (20,22) so that any service line (16) can be connected to any user line (18). A management station computer (14) is provided, by means of which an operator can control the system to connect a specified service line (16) to a specified user line (18) and also to disconnect a specified service line from a specified user line. <IMAGE></p> |
