Wat is Cross-connect, meet-me room?

Ook bekend als: cross-connect · meet-me room

Definition 9.4 Networks, Hardware and Trading Infrastructure · Hoofdstuk 9 — Colocation Products and How They Are Sold

A cross-connect is a cable, usually a pair of fibres, installed and managed by the data-centre operator between two points of its building: a customer’s cabinet and the venue’s network, another customer’s cabinet, or a telecom carrier’s equipment. A meet-me room (MMR) is the area of the building where telecom carriers terminate their networks and from which cross-connects run to customers.

A venue’s data centre, schematically. Customers’ cabinets and cages reach the venue’s network over cables of equal length; the nearer a cabinet, the more fibre is coiled in its path. Carriers terminate in the meet-me room and reach customers only through cross-connects managed by the operator.
