TrueNet® TracerLight®
Connector Identification System
ADC‘s innovative TracerLight® Connector Identification System offers a quick and accurate method
of identifying the termination point of optical patch cords. Each end of a TracerLight patch cord
features a flashing light source allowing technicians to visually trace individual patch cords from
one end to the other without pulling or affecting the patch cord.
Features:
• Dramatically minimizes the risk of taking the wrong fiber out of service
• Improves system turnup speed and accuracy
• TracerLight patch cords meet all performance criteria of standard ADC patch cords
• Ideally suited for SAN (Storage Area Network) and cross-connect patching
• 72% reduction in jumper turn-up times and 13% reduction in accidental down-time.
TracerLight pays for itself again and again!

TracerLight Power Source
The compact power source is comprised of a
lightweight, plastic flashlight body featuring two AA
batteries and a printed circuit board (PCB). It provides
approximately 80 hours of continuous service and
features 1-hour auto-off. The end of battery life is
indicated by a slowing of the blink rate.
