Summary

In data center networks, the steadily increasing requirement for high-speed data transmission creates demand for higher numbers of fiber-optic connections. Within and between these data center facilities, square footage is a highly coveted and pricey commodity. To maximize efficiency, data center operators must achieve higher numbers of optical connections without increasing the space that houses these connections.

Today’s ultra-high-density cables offer a solution to this challenge, by significantly increasing the number of fibers contained within a given cable diameter. With this solution come a new set of potential challenges, including termination practices and fiber management. This webinar describes the benefits and advantages of the latest high-density fiber-optic cables, while also addressing the real-world practicalities of handling, installing, and managing these cables. The webinar also goes into detail on state-of-the-art high-density connectors, their specification and use in networks. Recalling the evolution of high-performance fiber connectivity, it describes how users' needs for connection density have increased, and discusses the connector options available to meet these ever-growing needs.
