I'll second Martijn's comment and add this: Never choose "Next Available." It's the easy route up front but painful the rest of its life. We started predetermining where we wanted each of our xconnects (regardless which colo company) and submitting the port numbers with tickets / Equinix portal-based request. And it's been way smoother sailing since. You are you own source of truth, not the tech that serviced your ticket. PZ On Thu, Dec 5, 2019 at 8:33 AM Grzegorz Janoszka <grzegorz@janoszka.pl> wrote:

You're probably best off ordering those crossconnects through the Equinix portal, then you can choose the exact positions for the order that goes to the facility rather than relying on a human to transcribe them correctly from your PDF.
If only Equinix portal reflected how your patch panels really look like...
