Digital Cross Connects (DXX)

Digital Cross Connect System (DXX)

Bandwidth Manager
DXX node can be described as a digital MUX equipped with several Trunks and Access interfaces
Often referred to as a flexible multiplexer or "Flex Mux", reflecting the flexible implementation of different interface connections
Enables the provision of lower/sub rate traffic as compared to other media e.g., from Digital Exchanges we can provide only Analog voice, BRI (2B+D) i.e 128Kbps and PRI (30B+D)
Can provide a variety of data and speech bands sub and Super-rate multiplexing up to 2Mb/s
Supports all modern technologies e.g., ATM, FR & ISDN
