ABSTRACT:
The present disclosure provides a method for securing a plurality of communications channels, said method comprising: providing a plurality of data outlets, providing a patch cord connector assembly, providing access to a permissible data channel of the plurality of data channels, and restricting access to a restricted data channel of the plurality of data channels. A plurality of pitches are used to space apart optical communications components, wherein a patch cord connector assembly is both capable of mating with a data outlet associated with a permissible data channel, and incapable of mating with a data outlet associated with a restricted data channel.
