Data Center

 

Data centers rely on fiber optic cabling for its superior speed, immense bandwidth capacity and low latency, enabling transfer rates up to 1.6T to meet the demands of cloud computing, AI, machine learning and high-density networking. 

  • Copper-based networks can't handle the bandwidth required for modern data center transmission -- rates that regularly include 400G, 800G and 1.6T. 
  • Data center electronics are designed specifically for fiber connectivity -- transceivers and active optical cables (AOCs) seamlessly enable the fastest, most reliable connections.  
  • Fiber cables are thinner and lighter, allowing for better cable management, enhanced airflow and improved cooling efficiency.
  • Fiber seamlessly tackles long cable runs with minimal signal attenuation, which is essential for connecting large and distributed data centers. 
  • Fiber is immune to the signal-killing electromagnetic interference, radio frequency interference and ground loops that can be induced with HVAC and cooling equipment. 
  • Fiber is also immune to static electricity, surges and lightning strikes, protecting remote connections and distribution points while acting as an insulator between nodes. 
  • Fiber prevents signal tapping and hacking because it transmits light (not electricity), offering better protection for sensitive data. 
  • Fiber provides a scalable, future-forward upgrade path, eliminating the need to redesign network infrastructures and pull new cables to accommodate future expansion and tomorrow's technology.

For these reasons, fiber-based cables and connectivity products have become the standard for data center designs and integrations. But with so many optical suppliers, why choose Cleerline? 

 

Cables that Survive Real-World Handling

Handling during and after installation can affect fiber cable performance. Patented Cleerline SSF cables deliver a 2000x greater flex rating, 1500x better impact rating, an industry-leading 2.2mm bend radius and superior pull-strength compared to traditional bend-insensitive fiber. It's the only cable that literally survives being tied in a knot. 

 

Thinner Cables for Tougher Cable Paths

Whether tackling a retrofit with a crowded conduit or trying to accommodate a new overcrowded rack enclosure, Cleerline manufactures the strongest, thinnest cables in the industry. SSF and BendSafe products survive the rigors of fishing through cable-filled pipe and can be reliably laced and coiled in high-density applications.

 

High-Density Patch Cords Delivering Better Airflow

Cleerline manufactures the industry's strongest, micro-diameter patch cords designed specifically for high-density network deployment. Patch cords built with SSF support 1.2mm micro-diameter constructions without sacrificing strength and durability -- that's up to 60% more space for airflow in a crowded rack. 

 

Micro-Armor Not Required

Long, exposed cable runs frequently rely on heavy and expensive micro-armored cables. Cleerline SSF delivers a stronger optical strand without the need for stainless steel jacketing. Cleerline cables are lighter, easier to handle and save considering more space in high-density environments. 

 

Multi-Strand Reliability

High-density networking relies on high-density cables -- MTP and MPO connections support up to 72 strands within a single, compact ferrule. If one of those strands breaks, the entire cable is compromised. Cleerline SSF eliminates the risk of strand breakage from routine installation and maintenance, ensuring expensive cabling and connections remain operational. 

 

Uptime for Mission-Critical Systems

Cleerline doesn't just deliver a cable immune to EM interference, RF interference, static, surges and lightning, our patented SSF construction also delivers a cable with a 50+ year life expectancy. Systems commissioned with Cleerline stay commissioned.

Let's face it, data centers require mission-critical performance --  downtime equals lost revenue. Why risk performance issues and customer confidence when Cleerline delivers the strongest, most durable fiber in the industry.
