Fibre-optic plug connectors for data centre cabling

Choosing the right connector system is about more than mechanical compatibility. Our insight paper provides planners, operators, and technical decision-makers with guidance on evaluating optical connector systems for modern data center infrastructures – today and with future migration paths in mind.

In focus:

• Evolution of optical plug connector systems
   
• Technical basis and standardization
   
• Insertion loss, channel insertion loss and transmission capacity
   
• Standards-based requirements for data centre cabling
   
• Optical transceivers, roadmaps and outlook
