Cross connect

As a Digital Rack customer, you’re just a cross-connect away from a rich ecosystem of enterprises, cloud on-ramps, network, and IT service providers. We offer one of the most densely connected footprints in the industry, with global consistency for the secure network- and carrier-neutral interconnection model at the heart of each of our facilities. With cross connects you receive a fast, convenient and affordable integration with business partners and service providers within the digital ecosystem.

ECOSYSTEM CONNECT

Customers utilize DRT Ecosystem Connect to establish connections with providers and DRT network products within our Meet-Me Room.

Ecosystem Connect supports all common media types to facilitate a wide range of customer connection requirements. DRT has standardized the connector types for each media to streamline implementation of cross connects.

Connections from customer colocation cabinets and cages to the Meet-Me Room are made via Ecosystem Connect cable bundles. These bundles are available in standard connection counts and serve as your on-ramp to all interconnection services. Customers are encouraged to order larger bundles to speed and facilitate future cross connect orders.

CROSS CONNECT

  • Support for all common media types including single-mode fiber, multi-mode fiber, CAT6, and COAX
