SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF IDENTIFYING CONNECTIONS IN A COMMUNICATIONS PATCHING SYSTEM USING COMMON-MODE CHANNEL SIGNAL TRANSMISSIONS

摘要

Communications patching system and methods utilizing common-mode channel communications are provided for identifying patch panel ports to which a backbone cable is connected in a communications patching system, for identifying a patch panel port to which a horizontal cable terminating at a telecommunications outlet is connected in a communications patching system, and for identifying the physical location of first and second connectors of a patch cord in a communications patching system having multiple patching zones.
