Abstract
Disclosed is a cross-connect system, such as a feeder distribution interface for telecommunications. User and feeder wires are each coupled to two sides of the matrix in order to provide flexibility in the electrical path. The switches, which are of the double-pole, double-throw variety, are employed at selected crosspoints of the switch matrix in such a manner as to reduce the number of switches required.
