In essence, an OXC uses photonic switching fabric to route wavelength channels from any incoming fiber to any outgoing fiber, typically by demultiplexing each WDM signal into individual wavelengths, directing them through a switch matrix, and then re-multiplexing onto output fibers. Cable Exchange (CEX) is the quick turn assembly house for all your fiber and copper cable assemblies. We provide a multitude of standard and customized networking solutions utilizing various cable types, connector configurations, color, and length options. Within OTN, one of the most critical building blocks is the Optical Cross-Connection (OXC), a technology. An optical cross-connect (OXC) is a network device that switches high‐speed optical signals between fiber inputs and outputs without converting them to electronics.

The light spectrum spans a tremendous range in the electromagnetic spectrum, extending from the region of 10 terahertz (10 4 gigahertz) to 1 million terahertz (10 9 gigahertz).
