HYC will showcase next-generation multi-core fiber and AI data centers
ECOC 2024 will be held in Frankfurt, Germany from September 23 to 25. This year, HYC will showcase some groundbreaking innovations. As the rise of AIGC and large language models drives unprecedented growth in data processing needs, HYC will showcase advanced solutions designed to meet these challenges. Highlights include multi-core fiber connections for next-generation networks, silicon photonic module connections, and AI data center connections to support the massive data transmission and ultra-low latency requirements essential to AI data centers. Multi-core Fiber Subassemblies for Next-Generation Connectivity Optical communication networks have a growing demand for increased capacity. Affected by the nonlinear Shannon limit, optical fiber capacity has reached its limit. Multi-core optical fiber using space division multiplexing (SDM) technology is expected to be the best choice to break through the limit. HYC has developed a series of multi-core optical fiber components for next-generation connections. 1) 4CH/7CH/8CH multi-core fiber LC/FC type fiber optic connectors solve the problem of difficult on-site splicing of MCF…
Micro-armored cables in data centers: TiniFiber goes into service
Lindenhurst, New York, September 23, 2024 — TiniFiber, the exclusive manufacturer of the U.S.-patented and UL-listed TiniFiber Micro-Armor fiber optic cable solutions, has begun in-house production of pre-terminated MPO (multi-fiber push-on) cable assemblies, simplifying and speeding up the installation of the manufacturer’s crush-proof fiber optic cables in data centers. MPO connectors integrate multiple fibers to support data centers, including AI and encrypted data centers that require high-density data. They support parallel optics: applications that transmit and receive signals over multiple fibers to achieve higher speeds. Micro Armor is 65% smaller and 75% lighter than traditional armored alternatives, and its pre-terminated MPO cable assemblies are tested and verified to comply with international standards such as IEC 61754-7 and EIA/TIA-604-5 (FOCIS 5), which specify the physical properties and performance of connectors and ensure interconnection with all compliant cables and connectors. “MPO pre-terminated cable assemblies play a vital role in reducing labor costs for data center installations because they eliminate the need for…
