We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Crossconnect",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Ethernet-over-SDH/Sonet IC enables optical access from
Fujitsu Microelectronics Europe, which we summarised at the time by saying "AimValley of The Netherlands has used Fujitsu's MB87M2181 Ethernet-over-SDH/Sonet device for its BX10 product family".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Head-end cables cover all broadcast types from
Belden CDT Electronics: "Belden now offers a comprehensive line of cables for a wide range of head-end applications".
In February 2005, we covered the news from Octasic
concerning its OCT8304 and OCT6100
- take a look at Three-chip solution shrinks voice gateways
which says: "TranSwitch and Octasic Semiconductor have developed an integrated solution for voice over packet (VoP) gateway implementations that allows OEMs to increase density and lower costs".
Take a look also at the news release from Belden CDT (cables), Cabling systems exceed industry standards,
as well as Next-generation framer/mappers from Cypress Semiconductor,
and Crossconnect covers Cat 6 cables from AMP Netconnect.
