Hewlett-Packard/Agilent Technologies Telecom Network Test Division for 
ten years.

Our flagship product was an OC-12 SONET diagnostic system.

https://testequipment.center/Products/Agilent-CERJAC-156MTS

This was the product we were producing when I was the test department 
manager. In addition I also visited numerous customer sites and handled 
field services issues. In the ten years I worked there, no one ever used 
the term "light lines".

> The fact is that you believe that if you haven't heard a term it doesn't exist.

is because no one uses it. To this day, the only reference to 'line 
lines' you have produced is a lighting system for a laboratory
