On the basis of crosstalk studies it is shown in this paper how the performance of WDM cross connects scales with the number of wavelengths and the number of input/output fibres. For three different optical cross connect topologies conclusions can be drawn on the best trade off between wavelengths and fibres for a given capacity.
