Abstract
A cross connect with a cascadable architecture may selectively output a switched or an unswitched data stream from a transmission line. Two or more such cross connects may be cascaded by connecting their system side ports for bi-directional communication. Either of the cross connect connected directly to the transmission line or the cross connect connected indirectly to the transmission line through the other cross connect may switch the data stream from the transmission line for output to a system.
