New Fiber Connectivity Options Inside the Switch Chassis
As the next generation of data center switch designs advance, new possibilities for fiber management inside the chassis are emerging. In this one-hour webinar, we will hear from Paul Yip who will discuss an innovative fiber shuffle from Optec for transmitting optical signals from the switching silicon to the front panel. The idea is to facilitate the fiber management and system redundancy from the CPO optical engines. Then we will hear from Teruhiko Omori at Fujikura who will present the next-gen VSFF multi-fiber connector with standard and reduced clad fibers suitable for these applications. Backward & forward compatibilities, intermateability, reliability, and installation & maintenance issues are considered.
