ABSTRACT:
An arrangement is provided to correlate random connections made at one end of a multiwire cable with connections that are to made at the opposite end of the cable, in which the different leads of the cable are usually separated, for example, by a distinctive color pattern. The arrangement includes identifying the respective leads by a distinguishing marking, connecting a first end of the leads to a first connector, sensing the distinguishing marking of the lead connected to each contact of the first connector, and, responsive to the first end distinguishing marking, generating a first order identifying signal. The arrangement also includes identifying the respective leads by a distinguishing marking at a second end of the leads, sensing the distinguishing marking of each lead at the second end of the leads, responsive to the second end distinguishing marking, generating a second order identifying signal, responsive to the first and the second order identifying signals, generating a crossover matrix, which correlates the first and the second ends of the leads, responsive to the crossover matrix, generating a crossover network, and inserting the crossover network in a second connector for establishing connectivity between the first and the second connectors. The arrangement may also include generating the crossover network by selecting a crossover network from a plurality of prefabricated crossover networks or, alternatively, fabricating a crossover network.
