Why are cross-connects considered the foundation of high-performance data center connectivity?

Cross-connects are direct physical cables between two endpoints in the same facility, with no intermediate hops, queuing, or processing. This makes them inherently the lowest-latency, highest-bandwidth connectivity option available. Every higher-level connectivity service ultimately rides on cross-connects, so understanding them is foundational to data center networking strategy.
