MPO Cable, MTP Cable, Data Center Ultra Low Loss Link Products,
Ultra Low Loss, Long Transmission Application
As global IP traffic grows rapidly and broadband Internet
technology continues to improve, there is rising demand for
transmission capacity and communications network, especially
400G/1000G technology, which also brings high requirements for
optical fiber transmission featuring multi-node, low loss, ultra
long distance, high capacity and high speed.
Traditional low loss fiber optic system can no longer coordinate
the application of data center multi-node management architecture,
so TC's ultra low loss optical link products, manufactured by super
Class-A high precision devices and innovative processes, are the
optimal choice. They are mainly used in multi-node structured
cabling projects, and far exceed the standards such as IEC 61754
and IEC 61755.
Product Features
Optical links in data centers typically consist of multiple MPO
nodes, LC nodes, and fiber optic cables. Compared to traditional
ones, TC's ultra low loss FO products enjoy a significant drop in
the total loss.
The maximum loss of ultra low loss MPO nodes reduces from 0.35dB to
about 0.25dB, about 28% performance improvements; while LC nodes
reduces from 0.2dB to about 0.1dB, resulting in about 50%
performance improvements. The more losses saved, the more
flexibility provided for cabling management. For example,
When using multimode OM3 fiber transmission of more than 100G, the
total loss value of the entire link requires IL<1.8dB, which
means that the loss of fiber optic cable in 100m standard link
reaches about 0.35dB, left less than 1.45dB to connection nodes.
That is, traditional low loss products can only support 4 MPO nodes
(or corresponding MPO&LC node combinations, such as 2*MPO nodes
+ 3*LC nodes), greatly reducing flexibility and manageability of
data center cabling. However, with TC's ultra low loss products,
the entire optical link can hold about 6 MPO nodes or up to 15 LC
nodes and their combinations, thus bringing more convenience to
node management in EDA, IDA, HDA.
