Abstract: A cable pair shifting system (12) for shifting a cable pair (20) from an old cable pair location to a new cable pair location includes a quick shift jack panel (64). The quick shift jack panel (64) contains an old pair of connection locations and a new pair of connection locations. A first test cord (70) has a first old end for coupling to the old pair of connections and a second old end for coupling to the old cable pair location. A second test cord (76) has a first new end for coupling to the new pair of connections and a second new end for coupling to the new cable pair location. The quick shift jack panel (64) in combination with the first test cord (70) and the second test cord (76), shift the cable pair from the old cable pair location to the new cable pair location.

Abstract: A cable pair shifting system (12) for shifting a cable pair (20) from an old cable pair location to a new cable pair location and method for the same are provided including a quick shift jack panel (64). The quick shift jack panel (64) contains an old pair of connection locations and a new pair of connection locations. A first test cord (70) has a first old end for electrically coupling to the old pair of connections and a second old end for electrically coupling to the old cable pair location. A second test cord (76) has a first new end for electrically coupling to the new pair of connections and a second new end for electrically coupling to the new cable pair location. The quick shift jack panel (64) in combination with the first test cord (70) and the second test cord (76), shift the cable pair from the old cable pair location to the new cable pair location.

Abstract: A hybrid cable for distributing communications signals and three-phase moderate-voltage alternating current, and a distribution method and network using the hybrid cable. The cable includes a hollow conduit, an optical fiber pulled through the conduit and housed within the conduit, power conductors disposed around the conduit, and a sheath which provides both structural protection and dielectric properties encasing the power conductors.
