If it’s in an interduct by itself, how much would the square footage per month occupied by the average cross connect be worth? I’m not saying I think $300 MRC is legitimate by any means, but, if you’re going to talk about the ongoing costs, the space in the cable ladder and/or fiber tray(s) also has to be accounted for. Owen

There’s costs and labor involved in running that cable through a riser. Especially if you want it in innerduct.Hi Daniel, A $300 Non-Recurring Cost, sure. The MONTHLY Recurring Cost of maintaining that cable is not zero, especially if it's in a campus not just one building, but it's pretty close to zero. Charging the customer a $300 MRC may not be unusual but it is unreasonable. I get that floorspace and power is priced pretty close to cost-recovery so that cross connects are one of the only profit centers for a carrier neutral facility. It's still obnoxious.
