A cross-connection is a direct arrangement of piping that allows the potable (safe. drinking) water pipe to be connected to a pipe supply that contains a. contaminant or pollutant. An example of a cross-connection is a common garden. hose attached to your home outside faucet with the hose outlet end lying in a. pool or inserted into a sewer clean out. Other examples include a garden hose. inserted in a car's radiator for flushing that contains anti-freeze or a hose.
In the context of generic data center services, a cross connect typically refers to the patched connectivity between the data center's facilities and the line of demarcation into the building. It would often be the patched connection between your servers and the Internet access or any additional network connectivity.
