Corning has launched Corning® GlassWorks AI™ options, a “one-stop store” of customised knowledge centre services and products to assist operators construct the dense fibre infrastructure required for generative AI. The top-to-end portfolio offers industry-leading cable and connectivity options together with best-in-class community planning, design, and deployment assist.
Operators face challenges of scale and density in assembly the infrastructure necessities of AI, each inside the info centre and within the long-haul networks that join them. GlassWorks AI™ meets these wants with a big selection of applied sciences, together with Corning’s new Contour™ Move Cable. The cable accelerates and simplifies deployments of interconnected knowledge centre networks by becoming double the fibre into present cable diameters.
Contained in the AI knowledge centre, more and more massive clusters of graphical processing items, or GPUs, require a dense optical infrastructure on a large scale. Corning’s GlassWorks AI™ options meet this problem as nicely, with high-density cables, shuffle options, optical {hardware}, and MMC-based connector assemblies that may accommodate 36 instances extra fibre connections inside an information centre rack unit than a legacy LC connector.
“With GlassWorks AI™, Corning is drawing on its world-leading experience in supplies science to create breakthrough merchandise that develop the probabilities of generative AI for our clients, each inside and outdoors the info centre,” stated Sean Kelly, Vice President and Enterprise Director for Corning’s Knowledge Centre Enterprise Unit. “Our new Contour™ Move cable is a superb instance of our improvements – serving to knowledge centres join their city-to-city networks rapidly and cost-effectively, delivering future-ready optical efficiency with out the necessity for costly infrastructure buildouts.”
On the coronary heart of Contour™ Move Cable is Corning® SMF-28® Contour fibre, a 40% smaller fibre providing improved bend resilience for high-density environments. With its smaller diameter, SMF-28 Contour fibre is the important thing enabler of the cable and different connectivity options in Corning’s GlassWorks AI™ portfolio – all designed to assist operators meet the ever-increasing density necessities of AI.
Corning consultants might be available to debate GlassWorks AI™ and to showcase Contour™ Move Cable, MMC connector assemblies, and different improvements in Sales space 1643 on the 2025 Optical Fibre Communication Convention and Exposition (OFC), April 1-3 in San Francisco, CA.
