U.S. data centers transition to 400G/800G fiber technology

Summary

U.S. data centers are rapidly upgrading from 100G/200G to 400G and 800G technologies, driven by the demands of AI workloads that generate significant east-west traffic. Pre-connectorized fiber systems are being adopted to enhance deployment speed and performance, while also accommodating higher density layouts. This shift is supported by advancements in switching technology and optics, which improve cost and power efficiency.
