Data Center Cabling

    LC/VSFF duplex patch cables, MPO cabling and Cat6A cabling

    GrowsFiber can provide complete structured cabling solutions for data centers. From 10G/40G, 25G/100G, to 200G/400G, to 800G/1.6T in the data center, with the upgrade of the basic bandwidth, the cabling density is getting higher and higher, and the cabling method is also changing.

    GrowsFiber has inherited years of R&D experience in optical interconnect devices from its parent company, GIGALIGHT, and has a very professional understanding of data center interconnection architecture, and has launched various cabling solutions suitable for global mainstream data centers.

    LC/VSFF Duplex Patch Cables

    In data center fiber optic cabling, LC duplex fiber patch cables have always played a very important role. In order to save fiber resources, when the internal interconnection of the data center is upgraded from 10G to 40G, 25G to 100G, 50G to 200G, and 100G to 400G, SWDM4, CWDM4 or LWDM4 optical transceivers can be used to continue to use LC duplex cables, without recabling.
    With the large-scale commercial use of 400G, data centers have entered the era of ultra-high-density cabling, and VSFF (SN or MDC) duplex cables have emerged as the times require. Compared with LC, VSFF connectors have smaller physical size, and the cabling density can reach 3 times that of LC. At present, some 400G multi-channel parallel optical transceivers on the market have begun to use SN interfaces, and each channel transmission is based on an SN duplex cable, which makes the connection between devices more flexible. However, the MDC duplex cables are mainly used for MMC (a new type of multi-fiber connector with higher density than MPO/MTP) cabling system to replace the traditional LC duplex cables.

    MPO/MTP High-Density Cabling

    MPO/MTP high-density cabling can simplify cabling management and save cabling infrastructure costs for data centers. Since the MPO multi-channel transceivers based on parallel technology have a great advantage in cost compared with the dual LC multi-channel transceivers based on CWDM/LWDM technology, in order to balance the overall cost of optical transceivers and optical fibers, different data centers have differences in MPO cabling.
    Small data centers (the internal interconnection distance is shorter and the cost of optical fiber is lower) tend to use MPO parallel transceivers to reduce transceiver costs, so the proportion of MPO cables is larger. However, large data centers and hyperscale data centers (the internal interconnection distance is much more longer and the cost of optical fiber is higher), tend to use LC transceivers to reduce the fiber cost, so the proportion of MPO cables is relatively smaller. In addition, in order to facilitate data distribution and management, some special data centers mainly use MPO transceivers, and the proportion of MPO cables is relatively larger.

    GrowsFiber can customize exclusive MPO/MTP high-density cabling solutions for various data centers, and provide a one-stop MPO/MTP product portfolio, including cable assemblies (MPO/MTP patch cables, MPO/MTP trunk cables, MPO/MTP-LC breakout cables and MPO/MTP conversion cables), cable management products (MPO/MTP transition cassettes, MPO/MTP patch panels and MPO/MTP adapter panels), and test tools (MPO/MTP loopback modules and MPO/MTP polarity checker).

    Cat6A Shielded Copper Cabling

    The cabling requirements of the data center as the information center must not only meet the current application needs, but also meet the bandwidth requirements brought about by the growth of data volume in the next 5 or even 10 years. The 10G Ethernet network with Cat6A shielded cable as the transmission medium is a relatively cost-effective choice at present and for a long time to come. In order to meet the high-density cabling of data centers, shielded network patch cable adopts the STP shielding method without skeleton filling, which makes the cable soft to obtain an ideal bending radius. For the application of horizontal cables in data centers, shielded cables made of Cat6A low-smoke halogen-free (LSZH) materials will have more advantages, which meet the requirements of high-bandwidth transmission media in data centers and achieve better transmission stability, and meet the general trend of energy saving and environmental protection in the next generation data center.

    GrowsFiber is committed to providing high-performance, low-cost cabling products for data centers, and has optimized Cat6A-based copper cabling solutions and one-stop product portfolios, including Cat6A shielded patch cables, Cat6A RJ-45 plugs and 24-port Cat6A patch panels.
