AI is driving an optical fiber boom while making data center connectivity requirements harder to predict, as network architectures and deployment densities evolve. New infrastructure must support not only greater capacity, but frequent changes in how that capacity is deployed and connected. Air Blown Fiber (ABF) provides flexibility at the physical layer, enabling fiber to be added, replaced or rerouted as requirements change, without installing capacity before it is needed. This tech showcase will dig deeper into how ABF can support a more adaptable approach to building data center connectivity for AI. In particular we explore:

• How to apply ABF across new builds and retrofits to support long-term infrastructure flexibility
• Expanding higher fiber densities without expanding physical pathways
• How to improve speed and efficiency when deploying new fiber connections
• Preparing fiber pathways for the growing connectivity demands of AI clusters
