NY5 Connectivity

Last updated: September 25, 2026

Plan access to Equinix NY5 in Secaucus for Cboe U.S. equities, IEX access and routes to the other New Jersey trading sites.

Direct answer

Equinix NY5 is in Secaucus, New Jersey. Cboe uses NY5 as a primary U.S. equities site; IEX documents a point of presence at NY5, while its matching engine is in Weehawken. Specify the venue and the exact handoff when comparing routes.

Venue access at NY5

Cboe BZX, BYX, EDGA and EDGX equities traffic is associated with NY5. The IEX access point at NY5 is different from the IEX matching engine in Weehawken. Plan cross connects and services around the exchange’s current ordering and access specifications.

Identify the venue and handoff

Document the exact destination, required service interface, exchange or data source, and building access process. Similar facility names do not guarantee the same route or handoff.

Evaluate metro and long-haul paths

Compare access from nearby New Jersey sites as well as routes from Chicago, New York, London or cloud infrastructure. Distance is only one part of measured performance.

Protect operational continuity

Confirm monitoring, maintenance communication, escalation and backup-path behavior. Trading connectivity needs clear ownership outside normal business hours.
