ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for decreasing cable installation times and cable installation faults is disclosed. The back panel of the CTMS has a light source, for example an LED associated with each connector on the back plane. When a circuit card is plugged into the front plane of the CMTS the card activates the light source on the back plane to indicate whether an active channel is connected to the connector and what type of channel the active channel is.
