How do different types of cross connects compare?

Cross connects can be made using fiber, copper, or coaxial cabling. Each of these different cross-connect types is suited to different performance needs.

Fiber cross connects offer the highest bandwidth and lowest latency. They are ideal for high-speed and long-distance connections such as modern data centers and cloud interconnections. Copper cross connects, using Ethernet cables, are economical and effective solutions for short-range, lower-speed links.

Coaxial cross connects are relatively unusual but have specific use cases in broadcast and/or RF applications.
