Abstract: We give a characterization of alternating link exteriors in terms of cubed complexes. To this end, we introduce the concept of a "signed BW cubed-complex", and give a characterization for a signed BW cubed-complex to have the underlying space which is homeomorphic to an alternating link exterior.
