 If a distribution point design is used, then a cross-connect box is placed in a strategic location to feed a determined distribution area.The cross-connect box, also known as a serving area interface, is then installed to allow connections to be made more easily from the wire center to the destination point and ties up fewer facilities by not having dedication facilities from the wire center to every destination point.The plant is then taken directly to its destination point or to another small closure called a terminal, where access can also be gained to the plant if necessary.
