INTERCONNECTION

	Cross Connects Inside an Equinix center, a cross connect is much more than a cable. A single cross connect can be a link to a dynamic ecosystem of business partners, content providers, networks, carriers and Internet service providers. From electronic trading systems, to peering relationships, cross connects ensure high-performance network reliability, redundancy and low-latency.
	Equinix Exchange™ Equinix Exchange is a service that enables companies to interconnect their networks to move data to destinations in an efficient and reliable manner. Equinix Exchange facilitates interconnection and peering via an Ethernet central switching fabric. It is used by many of the Internet companies operating within Equinix IBX centers, including: network service providers (such as ISPs, carriers, international PTTs and broadband networks), as well as content, e-commerce and enterprise companies delivering video, gaming, or other applications.
