As the COVID-19 pandemic accelerates global data growth, data center infrastructures face immense pressure to deliver fast, secure, and reliable data transfer. To meet these demands, fiber optic technologies must evolve, focusing on ultrafast speeds like 400G Ethernet and 800G Ethernet, alongside high-speed fiber connectors.




Key Trends in Fiber Optics


  • Ultrafast Speeds: Transitioning from 100G to 400G and 800G Ethernet to handle growing internet traffic and high-capacity data transfers.

  • High-Density Connectors: Essential for future-proof data centers.


Cisco's Global Cloud Index forecasts significant growth in hyper-scale data centers, reaching 628 by 2021. This growth, combined with increasing cloud storage needs, makes efficient data management crucial.



Next-Generation Fiber Connectors


  • SN® Cable Assemblies

  • Optimized for 400G QSFP-DD and OSFP transceivers.

  • Compact design with push-pull connectors for higher density.

  • Allows individual breakout at the transceiver.

  • MXC® Connectors

  • Supports up to 64 fibers per ferrule, delivering speeds up to 1.6 TBit/s.

  • Ideal for high-density applications in cloud computing and telecommunications.


These advanced fiber optic technologies are vital for meeting growing data demands and ensuring future-proof data center infrastructure. For any inquiries or project needs, contact Neptec team.
