Requirement to exchange traffic via the INX switch fabric
17. With the exception noted, all interconnection at each INX must take place via the INX switch fabric. This means that within each INX cage there may be no peer-to-peer interconnection, and all traffic exchanged must be via the switch.
18. The above policy does not apply to any ISP paying the 10 Gbps port charge; this gives that ISP the right to interconnect privately. An INX user is welcome to pay the 10 Gbps port charge to gain this benefit, but make use of a lower speed port on the switch. For the avoidance of doubt, both parties interconnecting privately must be paying the 10 Gbps port charge, in order to have the right to interconnect with each other.

Cabling
- The INX host will provide all ethernet patch cabling for the INX facilities. ISPA members may not supply their own ethernet cabling. ISPA members are, however, responsible for their own power cables. These rules are subject to the discretion of the INX host.
- The host may levy a cabling fee of R1200 (excl. VAT) per port used for connections into the JINX and CINX facilities. This fee is for the cabling between the host’s meet-me room and the INX environment and is a per-cable installation fee, and not a recurring cost.
- For transparency and fairness, the host must publish a list of prices for other cabling projects within the hosting facility.
Wireless connections and roof access
- For transparency and fairness, the host must provide up-to-date information on the availability of roof space at the hosting location for the purposes of wireless links. Contact details for further enquiries should also be provided.
