Today we’re living in the perfect storm, where we need to store and manage increasing amounts of data, while also keeping the resources and cost at a minimum. Did we mention the extra requirement to scale flexibly? Keeping a data center fully optimized while eliminating latency, reducing downtime, and maintaining compliance with ever-evolving standards is quite the challenge. This is a short read on how to cable an MTDC space from the outside plant cable to the caged area.

Optical network design is constantly evolving with the need for optical connection density steadily growing. Existing simplex and duplex optical connector designs limit required density increases when duplex granularity is needed for individual access. A new Very Small Form Factor (VSFF) connector, the MDC connector, is paving the way for higher density duplex connectivity and opening boundaries for new optical cabling architectures.
