MikeM, to clarify my meaning and differentiate between patch panel cross-connect and fiber management system, they are 2 different products, but ADC is leader in both. The patch panel cross connect is a low tech, manual arrangement that is basically a piece of sheet metal drilled with holes for cross connecting either DS-1 or DS-3 signals in a telco Central Office. This one doesn't even do fiber connections, strictly metallic, using patch cords. The fiber management system, as its name implies is used to organize fibers that are terminating in a telco Central Office or cable headend. It is also used to manage fiber distribution and routing within a CO or headend and is extremely useful for keeping track of which fiber is connected to which facility since a CO could have hundreds or thousands of fibers running through it. Thje digital cross connect from Tellabs and others is a completely different animal and is software controlled to cross connect at DS-1 and DS-3 levels to "groom" circuits for special services and high speed private networks. Very useful and now has capabilities to cross connect SONET in and out at the optical level (used to have to break down the signal to electrical STS, cross connect, then multiplex back up to OC levels going out). The Tellabs Titan is the absolute best digital cross connect on the market and the last time I looked sales had broken a record and sales growth percentages were at an all time high. I think this at their last earnings report. Well run company, very good management, recently announced purchase of Ciena for DWDM equipment. Along with ADC, have worked with Tellabs for years, actually prefer them overall to ADC.
