Cross-connect capacity of the OptiX OSN 3500

This time, I will share with you a case about the Cross-connect capacity of the OptiX OSN 3500

Different cross-connect boards have different cross-connect capacities.

lists the cross-connect boards and the corresponding cross-connect capacities supported by the OptiX OSN equipment.
