Summary

Singlemode Optical Fiber is the primary medium used in today’s highest-performing networks. As these networks’ demands have evolved, they have been the catalyst for change and technological development of singlemode optical fiber, fiber cable, and connectivity hardware. This webinar, hosted by Cabling Installation & Maintenance and delivered by experts from Sumitomo Electric Lightwave and US Conec, will explore the evolution and current state of singlemode fiber, singlemode cable, and singlemode connectivity.

The webinar will discuss the high-performance, high-density environments such as hyperscale data centers that are driving innovation in fiber solutions. These networks take performance to the extreme, requiring transmission speeds approaching 1 Tbit/sec, while maximizing the number of connections in a given amount of real estate, and with next-to-zero tolerance for loss. The webinar will then describe how the newest innovations in fiber optics have accommodated these extreme needs, by fitting more fibers into a cable than ever before, while shrinking the area that a fiber connection occupies, all while delivering better-than-ever performance.

Experts from Sumitomo Electric Lightwave and US Conec will educate attendees on the technologies and product types that meet the needs of today’s hyperscale and other extremely demanding networking environments—including practical descriptions of how these technologies differ from previous generations. The webinar also will discuss trends in the connections that bring fiber into a data center facility, and how these connections have evolved to become more efficient and effective.
