How Bundled Jumpers Solve High-Density Cabling Challenges
Bundled Jumpers are primarily used in AI and HPC networks to connect GPU servers to InfiniBand switches across racks and rows. They address cabling challenges in scenarios such as server-to-switch connections, inter-rack links, and row-to-row patching. These assemblies are especially beneficial in large-scale deployments where cable density and pathway congestion pose significant challenges.
- Accelerated Deployment: Install 4x the number of links in the same time compared to individual patch cords, meeting the urgent scalability demands of AI.
- Optimized Space Usage: Compact assemblies reduce cable tray congestion and free up critical rack space for power and cooling systems.
- Customizable Designs: Tailored configurations, including staggered or uniform lengths, custom labels, and color-coded mesh wraps, ensure compatibility with AI-specific requirements and simplify management.

Frequently Asked Questions: Key Features and Applications of Bundled Jumpers
Read more about the features and applications of bundled jumpers in the questions below.
-
What configurations are available for Bundled Jumpers?
Bundled Jumpers are tailored for varying cluster sizes, supporting small (64 server racks), medium (128 server racks), and large (256 server racks) designs.
-
Can Bundled Jumpers be customized for different connection needs?
Yes, they can be staggered for elevation-based connections or uniform for consistent distribution, depending on specific requirements.
-
What are the types of Bundled Jumpers available?
Bundled Jumpers are offered in mesh bundles for lightweight, short-distance applications and jacketed bundles for durable, long-distance pathways.
-
How do Bundled Jumpers improve efficiency?
Pre-bundled assemblies reduce installation time and complexity compared to traditional individual patch cords, streamlining high-density deployments.
-
How do Bundled Jumpers support scalability?
Designed to accommodate large cluster sizes and varying oversubscription rates, they enable seamless scaling in AI and HPC networks.
-
What makes Bundled Jumpers ideal for high-density installations?
Their pre-bundled design reduces installation time, simplifies pathway management, and optimizes space usage in cable trays and racks.
-
What mode and connector types are available for Bundled Jumpers?
Bundled Jumpers are available in multimode and single-mode fiber configurations, designed to accommodate varying network distances. Multimode fibers are optimized for ≤ 50 m connections, while single-mode fibers are ideal for distances >50 m. Assemblies are offered with MTP®/MPO or LC connectors, ensuring compatibility with diverse infrastructure needs. Both ends of the jumper must use the same connector type (e.g., MTP-to-MTP or LC-to-LC) to streamline deployment and maintain uniformity.
