Developing Demands on Fiber Infrastructure
According to R&M, the shift toward AI-driven workloads has dramatically increased the demand for high-density fiber optic connectivity. Training AI applications requires transporting massive amounts of data in parallel, in real time, across short distances between processors. Each millimeter of cable increases the transmission time leading to a longer turnaround time.
The company notes that traditional data center designs are no longer sufficient. “If companies want to make their data centers ‘AI-ready’, it is important to say goodbye to traditional planning approaches. Even when it comes to just a few racks, AI capability has different requirements,” said Andreas Rüsseler, CMO at R&M.
Infrastructure Innovations Supporting AI Clusters
To meet these new challenges, R&M has introduced next-generation fiber optic connectivity and power distribution solutions optimized for AI workloads in both cloud and enterprise data centers.
The company’s CONNECTIONS 69 magazine also discusses innovative optical transmission systems that support AI infrastructures.
