ASX Active Digital Signal Cross-Connect
Part of ADC KRONE’s innovative family of active digital signal cross-connect products, the ASX
fully integrates an SDH multiplexer with a FlexDSX®cross-connect chassis. The product allows
easy migration of 2 Mbit equipment to next generation equipment, as well as enabling additional
capacity and transition to fibre optic backhaul to support increasing data rates.
The ASX is compatible with existing DSX installations and supports standard DSX functionalities
and advantages:
Modular construction, featuring either wire-wrap or LSA-PLUS• ®punchdown cable
termination methods
Easy circuit identification through the integrated LEDs•
Four-port jack cards with dual monitoring ports enable individual circuit monitoring in•
both directions
Cross-connection and patching of circuits•
Superior, intuitive cable management•
The extremely compact STM-1 level SDH multiplexer supports 1+1 MSP on the link side and
management features are accessed via GIU interface. By fully integrating an SDH multiplexer into
the digital distribution frame, the ASX provides space savings, as well as reducing cabling and
maintenance costs.

– Requires less space than separate DSX and
MUX equipment, making it ideal for installation
in remote sites where space is limited
• Reduceinstallationtimeandcosts
– Fibre optic cable replaces large bundle of
copper cabling between the DDF and
networkelements(MUX,ADM,switch,
