Cross Connect
A cross-connect is a physical connection that links two pieces of computing equipment together within the same data center or colocation facility. Cross-connects are typically used to establish a direct, dedicated, high-speed connection between devices or service provider networks in a data center meet-me room. Servers, switches, and routers are the most commonly connected devices. Connections can be made using different types of cabling, such as fiber optic or copper, with SMF, MMF, and Cat 5/6 cabling as the most common. The physical connection may be made using patch panels, jacks, or other types of connectors. A Cross Connect is also known as a Cross Connection, Data Center or Network Interconnection.
