Driven by the relentless demand for compute-intensive AI workloads and massive cloud computing deployments that rely on next-generation 800G and 1.6T speeds, data center capacity is projected to triple by 2029. This transition is pushing rack power densities beyond 80 kW and requiring up to ten times more fiber.

The fiber industry is entering a transformative era. By 2026, evolving technology, policy shifts, and skyrocketing customer demand will redefine how organizations build, maintain, and scale their networks. From AI workloads and hyperscale data centers to new connector technologies, the pace of change is relentles

For decades, twisted-pair copper cabling has been the go-to standard for local area networks (LANs). But in today’s demanding digital landscape, copper has hit a wall.  With fiber becoming increasingly familiar and more cost-effective, fiber-to-the-desk (FTTD) is an unstoppable industry trend, driven b

The demands on your data center have never been greater—from supporting modern AI-driven workloads to delivering faster speeds and reducing soaring energy costs. But embarking on a data center upgrade without meticulous infrastructure assessment and preparation is the quickest path to failure. Insufficient

Large hyperscale and cloud data centers are rapidly migrating fiber optic links to 800 Gigabits (G) and 1.6 Terabits (T) speeds. This move is necessary to meet the increasing demand from AI workloads and other high-performance computing applications.  According to port shipment forecasts published by Dell'Or

3 Ways to Optimize Your Fiber Installation in Limited Space  Amid the AI revolution and the continued rise of cloud computing, data centers are filling up with more servers, GPUs, switches, and storage than ever. At the same time, they are migrating to 400 and 800 Gigabit speeds to support high-performance c

Choosing the right fiber optic cables can be a complex process. While some customers know exactly what they need, many don't. If you're unsure about the specifics for your network, our fiber solutions team here at Cables Plus is here to help. We'll ask you a series of questions about your bandwidth needs, network

Understanding GenAI Connectivity in Backend Networks Hyperscale, cloud, neocloud, and large enterprise data centers are quickly adopting generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) to transform everything from business operations and customer service to scientific discovery and innovation across a wide range of in

Since its 2003 introduction, Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology, which transmits DC power alongside Ethernet data across twisted-pair copper cabling, has experienced widespread adoption. This technology has continually progressed, exponentially increasing its power delivery to accommodate an expanding arra
