    Wire taps. Best time to install bugs is during new construction.

    As the leading OC-3 and OC-12 SONET multiplexer in North America, the FLM 150 ADM platform provides the quality, power and flexibility required to help your network stay competitive. The FLM 150 ADM supports DS1, DS3, OC-3, Ethernet, and ATM-based DS3 tributaries and provides you extensive bandwidth management for true any-port-to-any-port connectivity. Best of all, the platform interconnects smoothly with our other Fujitsu products to give you the greatest network flexibility so you can easily mix and match different products in the same network.

    Did you even try Google?

    It’s a telecom device for splitting an OC3 or OC12 into seprate OC3/ T-1 lines.

    @reza, @Michael Collins:

    i did google, and came up with pretty much the same thing you guys did. i figured out that the “top piece” was a multiplexer, but i was more curious what exactly it was being used for in this setup. perhaps i should’ve phrased my questions better.

    as i said, i was more curious as to what it was being used for. did someone have multiple ds-3’s coming into this facility or…?

    i think i might have figured it out. apparently one of the previous tenants was a “call center” (telemarketing firm). i assume they probably had quite a few phone lines coming in and that’s the reason why all that gear was there.

    thanks for your responses!
