I am curious; what do you expect the average reliability of your FastE or GigE copper cross-connects at a colo?
At the physical layer, near zero. If "jiggling and wiggling" is causing cable failures, they have bigger problems. The last time I had problems with "jiggle and wiggle" was with techs walking by ds3 xcon farms and "testing" if the cables were "taught" enough with respect to the termination hardware. If you pull on them enough, they will come apart and they will fail. I'd love to see a picture of their xcon frames. -M< -- Martin Hannigan martin@theicelandguy.com p: +16178216079 Power, Network, and Costs Consulting for Iceland Datacenters and Occupants
