Summary

This webinar will explore the emergence of Ultra High Fiber Count (UHFC) cables and solutions from their first application in the Data Center Interconnect space through to their adoption in the Data Center White Space.  

UHFC solutions are defined as solutions that deploy fiber cables with greater than 288 fibers all the way up to today’s maximum of 13,824 fibers in a single cable.
 
With the growth of AI super clusters, fiber counts inside the Data Center White Space have rocketed, with single server racks now being fed with up to 1,200 fibers.
 
Key topics of this webinar will include:
 - What is a Ultra High Fiber Count solution
 - How big is big? 
 - Where is it deployed
 - Data Center Interconnect scenarios
 - AI White Space scenarios
 - How is it deployed 
 - Key considerations and decision criteria
 - Critical success factors
