Hello all,

Looking for input from "providers" as well as "consumers" of data center sp=
ace and facilities. Specifically speaking to the types of available physica=
l cross connects.

Are there data centers out there that are "fiber only"? That is to say that=
 the cross connects are fiber only and no copper cross connects are availab=
le?

I understand that fiber is great and all, but to my knowledge there are a l=
ot of folks still using and needing copper cross connects. Am I wrong?
