FIBRE AND CABLE FOR THE CLOUD | REPORT

The critical challenge facing operators today is to deliver sufficient capacity in their networks to allow customers to properly access data-heavy applications and services such as live video calling, high-density video streaming and virtual/ augmented reality. Not only are these applications drawing data at higher rates, many households frequently run several active devices simultaneously putting pressure on the network to consistently deliver high quality of service. Operators are responding by migrating to more spectrally efficient modulation schemes to extend capacity at a lower cost per bit. Because of these trends, very high fibre-count cables (more than 3,000
optical fibres) become essential for connecting hyperscale data centres within a campus over distances of less than 10km.
