The ever-expanding bandwidth demands on Cloud Data Center infrastructures are intensifying the pressure on optical module providers to enable faster connectivity solutions at volume scales and cost structures. Companies across the optical networking industry are diligently working to meet these demands, but as the ecosystem of components, modules and switch systems continues to grow exponentially, a new issue has arisen: the need to ensure seamless interoperability at the correct power, latency, and cost points.

Fibre optic infrastructures are becoming more widespread in a number of markets and applications. These include simple point-to-point security systems, Ethernet mesh networks and high-performance, high-bandwidth video transport and switching systems for the A/V and broadcast markets. As this fibre infrastructure spreads, a variety of fibre interconnect solutions are evolving to meet new needs. These may be as simple as fibre connectors for direct connectivity to patch panels or transmission equipment, or as complex as multi-fibre connectors used in rugged, hostile outdoor environments.
